Odd time/date stamp in maillog

[Colin Jack]

Yeah  ... that's what I got.

If I run date it says the time is correct

[root at server1 ~]# date
Wed Aug 23 13:34:22 BST 2006
[root at server1 ~]#

 ... it is just that MailScanner seems to use the  time zone from
/etc/sysconfig/clock

Maybe CentOS uses another file for its date in which case I need to tell
MailScanner where to find it.

Regards

Colin
