Generally european countries switch from 'day saving time' to winter time
on the last Sunday of September. 
This year this is not the case !!
Germany switches to winter time on the last Sunday of October !

I found a file called 'europe' in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo directroy
where you can change these rules for each timezone and country.
Does anyone know how can I activate the modifications I did in that
file ? Rebooting didn`t help :-(  

Does anyone know how can I deacyivate the automatic switching from DST to 
winter time and vice versa ???

Thank you very much for your help and suggestions in advance !
