Hi,
There seem to a bit more activity on the list now.
Since I had very little response on my previous posting I repeat
myself.
Timestamps for sasl are generated as local time (without timezone
indication). The user can optionally set the utc_log environment
variable to get time reported in UTC. Sasl will convert local -> utc
on the fly.
Note that the timestamp is still generated and stored as local time.
The problem with is that there is no unambiguous translation for all
local -> utc when you don't have the timezone (or rather dayligt
saving indication).
I my opinion the proper solution would be to generate and store all
timestamps in utc.
Any comments ?
(Anyone else even bother ?)
