Almost all of my local clients use the local time zone to set their clocks.  I do have a machine I'd like to add on another network segment that uses UTC for it's time zone - so it's clock is significantly different from all the other systems.  Is this going to have unexpected consequences?

I was just noticing that when I was looking at (hobbithome)/hobbit/client/tmp - not as many files there as I expected to see, and the time/date stamp is very different than my other out of network client.

Thanks,
Gar

No, that should not be a problem. Hobbit uses Unix-style time which is always UTC - the conversion is done at the client.
