It's probably not a bug, but it might not be a misconfiguration either. The timestamp in a syslog entry, depending on how it was delivered, can be provided by the sending application. If your application is sending UTC timestamps or a remote machine sending syslog messages since the whole box is running on UTC, you'll see UTC in your logs regardless of the timezone syslogd(8) is running in. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Crist J.
