It will find it to be Sun Apr 7 02:00:00 PDT 2002. However, that is a nonexistent time. That's the conversion to Daylight time. Clocks roll from Sun Apr 7 01:59:59 PDT 2002 to Sun Apr 7 03:00:00 PDT 2002. newsyslog(8) is properly (although vaguely) telling you that that time is not a good choice and will not work correctly. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=36641 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
