I've seen this bug for some time now. Oddly, it only syslogs in GMT for some messages. Here is a recent example on Fedora Core 4: Mar 17 21:38:47 bender in.tftpd[31938]: Cannot open map file: /etc/tftpd.rules: No such file or directory Mar 18 05:39:40 bender in.tftpd[31977]: RRQ from 10.10.10.10 filename c3500xl-c3h2s-tar.120-5.WC14.tar The first error was my own fault for failing to create the file referenced in my own addition of the -m option. Note the timestamp is *accurate* and reflects my localtime PST. The second error was a successful transfer. But it wrongly logs the time in GMT only a minute of clock time after I resolved the error.
