Now the problems has spread. Basicly, log times are being recorded in GMT, rather than local time. But now it's affecting other logging mechanisms, like the maillog files. Also, the problem has now become intermittent. It switches back and forth from GMT to local and back. I've written some C programs to check the times being returned by functions like localtime(). These are reporting the correct local clock and the proper minutes offset from GMT. Since it's affecting multiple subsystems that are not related, the problem must be something wrong in FreeBSD. Can any geniuses and/or members of the programming team point me to a fix?
