Just a public service announcement for those of you living in a recently updated time zone. British Columbia, Canada recently stopped daylight savings time transitions and standardized on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), i.e. no one hour fallback this fall. This effectively seems to have put us in Mountain Standard Time according to the new TZsetup program. I noticed I needed to rerun: # tzsetup America/Vancouver on all my servers (and jails!) to reset the time zones properly. Some symptoms of the weirdness were thunderbird having incorrect times on messages (a couple hours off). The settings showed that it was using the 'System time zone' which before resetting was listed as 'Etc/+8' or something incorrect like that. Heads up.
