Description Andrew Smith 2003-06-13 11:54:37 UTC
Description of problem:
Machine was running RH8.0 with correct time (hardware clock and software clock)
Ran install of RH9 and selected my local timezone Sydney/Australia
After install completes the date/time of some of the top level directories are 
in the future as are some files in /etc/mail (sendmail startup gives a message 
about this)

This has occurred on earlier versions of RH also with many different computers 
(and always happens) but this is the first time I have checked all the 
dates/times before and after the install.

My timezone is +1000
The time in the future appears to be about 11 hours (i.e. 11 hours in the 
future from around the time the install started) however during daylight 
savings my timeszone is +1100

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every Time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Install
2. Note Time packages start being copied to disk
3. use date and ls on / and /etc/mail after first boot
    
Actual results:
I have removed the uid and filesize to make the 'ls' output smaller
