It was on RHEL6 in the UK zone $ grep -I zone /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="Europe/London" with: $ rpm -q tar tar-1.23-11.el6.x86_64 There aren't any obviously-relevant patches in the tar package changelog. I think it would be worth a note on the timestamps anyway to avoid confusion and make sure they're maintained, if they should be. (Excuse me if that's done somewhere, but I just went to the current installation instructions.)
