Domino R653, Linux Redhat 7.3- The time being recorded in the domlog.nsf is 4 hours behind the time being recorded in the log.nsf (prior to Daylight Savings Time change, April 2, it was a 5 hour difference).I expected that both time stamps would be derived from same place the Linux O/S.
I am not experiencing this problem on my other Domino R653 servers on Windows 2000.
Any ideas why these 2 times are not in sync?
Thanks in advance for you thoughts and assistance.

Im not a Linux expert, but double check that the time zone settings for the OS match up the time zone settings for the server config doc in the NAB.
Subject: RE: domlog.nsf and log.nsf time is out of sync
Thanks for the suggestion. I have veriifed-Linux O/S is set to America/New York time
No Server Confiruation Setting/Parameter set
DSTLAW=4,1,1,10,-1,1
Timezone=5
DST=1
All setting are the same as the notes.ini on my Windows servers.
Also, in server doc verified on Server Doc, Basics, Additional Info: server is using OS’s time zone and daylight savings time rules.
Thanks,

Sounds like a Notes bug then. The other thing I would try before calling Lotus up is to make a backup of your ini file, and remove the Timezone setting. Its possible that one of the server programs is somehow adding that value to the OS timezone. 5 + 5 = 10, 5 + 5 -1 DST = 9 which sort of matches up to your problem description.
The server might just re-add that time zone value, but its worth a shot. the other thing you can do, is to config the server time zone settings to NOT use the OS settings, and set them manually. The server will still use the system clock, but not the OS time zone settings.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have changing the notes.ini DST= and Timezone= values. I can edit/modify the values but after reboot they are back to the values I have changed them from. I noticed there is a notes.~ and notes.ini.1, notes.ini.2 - notes.ini.5. I have renamed these, changed the values in notes.ini again … reboot and the setting revert back to original setting. I did come across this posting ( http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/46dom.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/5f9e205f126d44ec85256bf8002cf88c?OpenDocument ) and verfied their findings. Still working the issue ATT.Thanks,

Enabled domlog to log info to file. The time stamp recorded in the log file is correct. Summary- domlog logging enabled … log.nsf and domlog to file time stamp is correct, domlog.nsf time stamp is 4 hours behind. Still researching issue.
Subject: RESOLVED- domlog.nsf and log.nsf time is out of sync
The /etc/localtime was a link pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York. This file was 0KB (should be 1.2KB). When I copied in a new New_York file I would be able to modify the notes.ini DST=1, Timezone=5 and reboot, would be good. Shortly there after, within minutes, the New_York file would be 0KB, the notes.ini would revert back to DST & Timezone=0. RESOLUTION- the /etc/localtime is a know issue. The work around is to break the link and copy a good New_York file to /etc/localtime. Now all the times are in sync- OS time, Domino Server, log.nsf, domlog.nsf and log to file.
