Due to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, there will be some changes to the daylight saving time in US, starting in 2007. As a hardware/software vendor, Sun Microsystems is ready with a solution (set of patches) to accommodate those changes; and the required information is well documented in the form of Sunsolve alerts.
Documentation
