I can confirm and reproduce this problem, and on a totally different architecture - Red Hat Linux system with Zope 2.1.4. Here's a snippet from my /var/log/messages file: Mar 8 10:14:18 akpi ZServer[24689]: 127.0.0.1- - [08/Mar/2000:18:14:18 -0700] "GET /manage" 401 1782 Notice that the timestamp from the syslog facility is the correct local time, March 8 10:14:18, which is Pacific Standard Time. On the very same line, the timestamp passed to the syslog from Z2 is in GMT, 08/Mar/2000:18:14:18 -0700. My guess is that Zope isn't picking up the $TZ environment variable. What I don't get is why it's showing GMT as 18:14:18 -0700. That would imply a local time of 11:14:18. I think it should be 18:14:18 -0800 right now, and -0700 during daylight savings time. Two, two, two bugs in one! --Ken At 12:00 PM -0800 3/8/00, zope-admin@zope.org wrote:

We need a couple more data points before we can blame Zope for this or understand possibly what is happening. Can any one else verify and reproduce CURTIS David's problem?

Friends of Zope,

My Z2.log file entries which are in the /var/Z2.log are inconsistent with the actual system time. The Z2.log file shows 123.123.123.123 [08/Mar/2000:16:49:40-0700]
