Seems that te time zone is not recognized when calculating the time in "(...)", isn't ?

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-01-04 17:09:09 UTC
does `date` show the right time ?
Comment 2 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2004-01-05 07:04:24 UTC
Yes,

`date` und `date -u` workds as expected
Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-26 11:01:49 UTC
shouldn't it be that /etc/localtime is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/some/where?  what is this /etc/timezone file you have?

Comment 5 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2004-10-13 08:20:19 UTC
Seems, that the log entry only for reboot does not consider the local time zone:
