If anyone is brave enough to be running GroupWise under Linux, you will
need:

"DST Changes are in GW 7.0.1 IR1 GWIA & Webaccess release patch date of
21 December 2006 or newer."

You get the whole SDD of Groupwise with that download.  Seems that it
installs new binaries (rpm's) and doesn't touch the domain or PO areas
(no wpX.db files are changed).  If you already have 7.0.1, no display
tells you that it is now 7.0.1ir1, so you can verify by looking at the
date on the RPM's installed, `rpm -qa|grep novell`.  eDirectory and
Groupwise clients use the system time (SuSE/Windows updates).

Gaining this knowledge was not a choice. :)  Viva la FOSS!
