It is UNIX. Solaris on the primary server. RedHat on the clients. I did find one older client that agrees with the server when both are using EDT. Interestingly, there's another Sun that also agrees, but there's also another Sun that doesn't -- same as the RedHat clients -- unless everything goes to UTC.

Well, this seems strange, but here's what I've observed. My default time zone on the client is set as EDT,

Windows?  UNIX?

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).

Some, but not all.  Any commonality between them?  Are they all on one
side or the other of the DST switch?

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?

Bug?
