[syslog-ng] Timestamps

Hello all,

I've set up syslog-ng (1.6.11) on a test server (RHEL4), and am getting 
some strange timestamps on messages.  Here is a sample, as it appears in 
the log:

Nov 10 14:04:54 host1 sshd[29798]: Accepted password for bob from 
::ffff:10.40.131.115 port 32799 ssh2
Nov 10 09:04:54 host1 sshd[29797]: Accepted password for bob from 
::ffff:10.40.131.115 port 32799 ssh2
Nov 10 09:04:54 host1 sshd(pam_unix)[29802]: session opened for user bob 
by (uid=0)
Nov 10 22:00:54 host1 sshd[28326]: Accepted password for bob from 
::ffff:10.40.131.115 port 33569 ssh2
Nov 10 17:00:54 host1 sshd[28325]: Accepted password for bob from 
::ffff:10.40.131.115 port 33569 ssh2
Nov 10 17:00:54 host1 sshd(pam_unix)[28330]: session opened for user bob 
by (uid=0)

Any suggestions?

My guess is that it's a local time vs GMT or something like that (we're 
in Eastern Time Zone of USA, which is GMT -5).  All of our servers are 
currently in the same time zone, and all of the ones currently logging 
to syslog-ng are RHEL4, though we do have a few RHEL3 and RHAS2.1 
hanging around.

Thank you,
Jeremy
