I was also wondering this. Time on our server seems correct, yet wildfire and spark think it’‘s 3:59AM (it’'s 8:11pm). Should I not be setting the timezone? It seems as if this is actually ± server time - not GMT?
Did you ever get an answer to your question? Our spark clients are 1 hour behind but gaim clients shows the correct time. I’‘m wondering if it’'s spark issue or server issue.
I expect that Spark and Wildfire get their time information from Java which gets it form the OS. If the java layer has a problem reading the registry or understanding the OS settings one may get the wrong time within the java application.
