Hmmm...

Somewhat of an outside chance, but timezones can be set per-process,
just by setting TZ in the environment.  Make sure that procfs(5) is
mounted, and try running

   ps -auxwwwe | grep TZ

If there is a process with TZ set in the environment, especially if it
is set to 'America/Los_Angeles' or similar (9 hours offset from UTC is
typical for PDT)[*] that's probably your smoking gun right there.  Do
you have West Coast based users/admins who might have restarted some
processes or reloaded firewall rulesets?

	Cheers,

	Matthew

[*] Or else on Guam or some other part of the Eastern Pacific?
