I would suggest running tzsetup on both and making sure they are both UTC and in the same time zone. (Of course, if you are running MS operating systems as well, don't set it to UTC, and run adjkerntz - however UNIX uses UTC). The fact that your time is displaying in the future by multiples of your offset from GMT suggests this. Hope this helps some. -- The information contained in this email is confidential.
