For those interested, I wrote a script to update the zoneinfo files on Solaris and Linux:
#!/bin/sh

# Get Host Type

echo "I do not know how to update systems of type $hosttype"
exit 1
;;

esac

echo "$zic -v $tzsource/$zone"
$zic -v $tzsource/$zone
done
grab the latest definition from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub and place it in /tmp/junk. The script will do the rest.
