Re: [Networker] mminfo -m reports different volretent value?

Well, this seems strange, but here's what I've observed. My default time
zone on the client is set as EDT, and the so is the server. If I run my
command, specifying ssretent(18), then I notice that there are a number
of save sets on the volume that report times exactly 1 hour ahead of
what the server reports (minutes and seconds are identical, however).
Here's the command: mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r
'name,ssretent(18) -ot'
However, if I then change my time zone, on both the client and the
server, from EDT to UTC then the output is identical, even if specifying
only ssretent and not ssretent(18). This seems reasonable, but why would
the server report some times as being exactly 1 hour behind when its
time zone was set to EDT and so was the client's?
One thing I should note is that root's time on the server is also set to
EDT, but root's time on the client is set to UTC. I can understand,
therefore, that you might see a time difference of 4-5 hours (depending
on Day Light Savings or non Day Light Savings) when you're comparing
save set times, and you're logged in as root on the client, but why
would you see a difference of 1 hour when the time is set to EDT on both?

when the command is run on the server, but when the same command is run
on the clients, the given volume is reported with a retention date of
03/15/07. Otherwise, all other output for the command is identical.
Time zone differences?
What happens if you run with -r 'volretent(18)'? Are all the times off
by an equal offset?
To probe deeper, I then ran 'mminfo -s server -q volume=volname -r
name,ssretent -ot > file' on the server and some of the clients. There
appear to be about 25 save sets on the volume whose reported retention
times are one day further in the future when the command is run on the
clients versus the server.
Expand ssretent to ssretent(18) and compare.
