Hi, tcpdump prints out the time that a packet was received, according to BPF. BPF uses microtime() to record this time. When I use tcpdump on my 2.1-STABLE machine from a couple of days ago, it prints out times that appear to be GMT+1. % tcpdump -i de0 tcpdump: listening on de0 00:21:00.750186 fenestro.parc.xerox.com.login > crevenia.parc.xerox.com.1020: P 4200499942:4200499969(27) ack 1723392570 win 16384 [tos 0x10] % date Wed Sep 27 16:20:57 PDT 1995 % date -u Wed Sep 27 23:21:06 GMT 1995 How do I get microtime() to use my time zone? Or, alternatively, how do I get it to use GMT? GMT+1 seems to be an awfully strange choice. Bill
