Time Zone Environment

Hello,

Apologies if this has been answered already... (searched but haven't
found the answer yet).

The Windows 2003 terminal server is picking up the time zone environment
of rdesktop but it's not quite right.  The Linux workstations are
launching rdesktop with the time zone MST7MDT
(using /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT) but the Windows TS shows the time
zone as GMT-7 Arizona.

The problem, of course, is that since Arizona doesn't adjust for
daylight savings time the clock on the terminal server is now an hour
out.  Both the terminal server and the Linux workstations have been
patched for the new daylight savings time switchover date and so
that /shouldn't/ be the problem.

Can anyone tell me how rdesktop sends the time zone environment to the
server?  Does rdesktop send the offset from GMT (i.e. GMT-7) or does it
send a descriptive time zone like MST (or, in my case, MST7MDT)?

Which source file is the time zone information collected and sent to the
server?

To note, I have tried compiling the CVS version and I still have the
same problem.  I don't think I had any problems with the DST switch in
the fall and suspect that it will correct itself after the normal DST
switchover date this spring but would like to fix this issue if
possible.

Thanks for your help,
Andy
