Hi, If I read "37. Timestamp Format" of IPMI spec v2.0 correctly, timestamps returned by BMCs in response to commands like "Get SEL Time" are always in server local time (as opposed to GMT).
However, when e.g. looking at ipmi_sel_get_time() in ipmitool 1.8.9, I see that the conversion from BMC timestamp to printed time uses localtime(). But localtime() converts from GMT to client local time, which to me looks as if ipmitool expects the BMC timestamp in GMT rather than local time. Hence, my questions: 1. Is my reading of section 37 correct, i.e. "Get SEL Time" must return local time? 2. If yes, is it correct to use localtime() anyway? If yes, why? TIA for your comments.
