[olug] Linux DST

[Brian Roberson]

I am sure someone sent this out to the list already - but I thought I would be nice and pass it
on again.

For those of you who have not already dealt with the DST change for this year, Here is a quick 
"get it fixed" script. You may need to change a path or two, but works for sure on all flavors 
of Suse and CENT-OS


All my stuff is in CST - just sub in EDT/PST/MST where needed
