Hi, I have 2 suggestions regarding time&date format printing and parsing. First, as you can see in [1] it is not easy to discover what time zone the time&date record in leases file are. One needs to read dhclient.conf(5) to know that in 'default' format they are in UTC. But the time zone indication would be useful also in 'local' format. See attached timezone.patch Second, I think the common/parse.c::parse_date_core() is a little outdated, because it is able to parse a time zone offset, but I can't find an origin of this tz offset, i.e. common/print.c::print_time() doesn't create such a thing. See tzoff.patch [1] http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851636 With regards, Jiri Popelka Red Hat, inc.
