The problem is most probably related to the time zone. elogd contains a function:
/* workaround for wong timezone under MAX OSX */
long my_timezone()
{
#if defined(OS_MACOSX) || defined(__FreeBSD__)
time_t tp;
time(&tp);
return -localtime(&tp)->tm_gmtoff;
#else
return timezone;
#endif
}
from which you can see that there is a different behavior between different Linux flavors and OSX/FreeBSD. Maybe you need an additional
|| defined(__OpenBSD__)
if the pre-compiler directive __FreeBSD__ is not defined on your system.

BINGO! That was it - thank you! I've added the || defined(__OpenBSD__) in the place you described above and now the dates are correct. While I was at it, I also had a look at what other ifdefs there are for FreeBSD and the only other one I found was also in elogd.c:
#if defined (_BSD_VA_LIST_) && defined (__FreeBSD__)
I'm far from being a C programmer, but I did some quick and dirty compile tests with various ifdefs set and apparently, _BSD_VA_LIST_ is not set on OpenBSD, so I guess that this statement does not need modification. I will keep my eyes peeled for strange behaviour, though... 
Cheerio,

P.S.: One thing I noticed is that the OpenBSD variant of gcc throws these warnings when compiling elogd.c:
gcc -g -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall -DHAVE_SSL -I../mxml -o elogd src/elogd.c crypt.o regex.o mxml.o strlcpy.o -lcrypto -lssl
/tmp//ccHhMZfy.o(.text+0xd2f): In function `int_vasprintf':

I'm not certain whether this is specific to this gcc variant, but I seem to remember that the OpenBSD folks added some extra warnings and suchlike as part of their overall code audit, so I thought I'd mention it. |
