[rancid] cvs time in UTC

[Ignacio Freyre]

Hi, i noticed cvs stores time info in UTC time. Is there a way to change to the system time which uses gmt?
In this example the actual system time was 9:41:39, but cvs stored the time as 12:41:39, i got the email with the diff but the time is wrong.

the system time is fine, i'm using UTC-3 or GMT-3.
What i meant is that cvs is using UTC-0, but the system time is UTC-3.

Why do you have a three hour difference?
I think that is the bigger question,

It uses the system timezone by default. you can change the global system
timezone (do not ask this list how to do that) or in your rancid.conf
and/or shell dot files often by setting the TZ environment variable (again,
do not ask here about how to do that - google or ask a list associated with
your O/S).

Hi heasley, the timezone is configured properly.
Still, rancid logs show the correct time, but cvs doesn't.
I have configured the TZ environment variable but that didn't change anything.

i've confused this with svn. cvs does not do tz translation except for
the history command, afaict from the cvs manpage.
