I don't see any `ipmitool sel time set` commands in your log. Did you do NTP sync on both sides? I'm puzzled with the 29 second difference between the command outputs in the "after upgrade" log. Is this just due to a delay between execution of `date --utc` and `ipmitool sel time get` commands, or is it another part of the supposed bug? Between 1.8.9 and 1.8.18 there have been only three changes related to these two tickets that explicitly touched the `sel time` facility in ipmitool: https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/109/ https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/437/ You can browse the git log yourself to check. If you believe there is a bug, you're welcome to create a ticket on GitHub (https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool), to identify the commit that introduced the bug, and even to possibly fix it and create a pull request with GitHub.
