Our Debian boxes worked just fine, but we had to patch a couple of > older RH7.3 boxes.
Here's the way it went for me:
** Suse 10: nothing required, it shipped out of the box with the changes. ** Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3: only needed to update the appropriate RPM package. ** Red Hat 8 and 9: too old to have updated packages, end-of-life products, and therefore had to download the tzdata tarballs and compile from source. Only took a few minutes for each server. ** Windows XP - there were some client machines that didn't update properly for whatever reason (all SP2, btw). Ours at home ... all three of them ... did. ** Windows 2000 - have to manually update DST data, but it's not difficult to do. Same for me. Sounds like his host info changed and the server doesn't

SP1 isn't supported anymore by Automatic Updates either, which is a really really good reason to put SP2 on all of your XP boxes.
