You can clone the relevant parts of a working patch for Solaris 8 with a
short shell script (worked fine on Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7).

#!/bin/sh
## shell script hack to force solaris DST zonefile updates ## - use cat
to preserve hard links between zonefiles ## - only update pre-existing
files ## unpack Solaris 8 DST patch 109809-04 under /var/tmp/ ## then
run this script on Solaris 2.6 / 7 systems ## Keith Farrar

cd /var/tmp/109809-04/SUNWcsu/reloc/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo

# for f in `find Mideast -type f -print` for f in `find * -type f
-print`
do if [ -f /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/$f ]; then
cat $f > /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/$f
ls -lg /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/$f
fi
done
