Anonymous ftp times incorrect?
One of the machines I help maintain is running kernel 2.0.33 with 2 PII400
processors and an adaptec scsi card (debian machine with a bunch of RedHat
stuff installed on it - I can't control the owner:)). The machine
regularly crashes and I have been trying to help track down the problem
with no avail. The one strange thing that I have run across is the
anonymous ftp sessions seem to add EST to an EST clock. User ftps don't.
Does anyone have any idea why this is? Any help is gratefully appreciated.
Cheers, Colin.

The only weird thing I still detect is that the anonymous
ftp server still stamps the wrong time on?
For instance (from /var/log/messages)
================

===============
Here, you can see me come in from SAVAGE at 11:08, which is correct, but not by
anonymous ftp. Some other guy, zeppo, comes in anonymously, and it dates it
in the future. Same thing is recorded in /var/log/xferlog
===========

==============
Here, you can see that I grabbed a file (the last entry) via anonymous ftp (in /var/log/messages this is
confirmed), which also got stamped 4 hours in the future?
