Your gentoo server is not at the proper date? Well, perhaps you did not properly update to the new daylight saving settings?

Step 1: Make sure you're in sync with portage.

emerge --sync

Step 2: Make sure you're up to date with timezone information.

emerge -av timezone-data

Step 3: Make sure your timezone info is set and up to date:

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal /etc/localtime

NB Of course, use the zoneinfo file that fits where you are!

Step 4: Restart proper services

/etc/init.d/mysql restart
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
/etc/init.d/tomcat5 restart

and any other you can thing of... or reboot, if you have that kind of luxury.

    I’m not so sure, but I’m willing to reconsider because you are making quite a few fabulous points.
