Well, a simple search shows that rtkit has an open bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698040, which explains why you have its logs in UTC. Regarding the rest, are you saying the system spontaneously rebooted after a successfull recovery from power outage? Also, what does grep "system clock" /var/log/messages.log say?
Yes, after looking further, the rtc issue didn't bother me. I knew that was just timezone offset stuff. The big issue was the reboot and the 8 hour disparity instead of 5. The system clock information in the logs is puzzling as well: 15:45 providence:~> sudo grep 'system clock' /var/log/everything.log Oct 18 17:28:06 providence kernel: [ 1.676407] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2011-10-18 22:27:16 UTC (1318976836) Oct 18 19:15:10 providence kernel: [ 1.676460] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2011-10-19 00:14:30 UTC (1318983270) Oct 18 20:26:06 providence kernel: [ 1.676356] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2011-10-19 01:25:40 UTC (1318987540) Oct 18 20:28:10 providence kernel: [ 1.676507] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2011-10-19 01:27:56 UTC (1318987676) Oct 18 20:37:40 providence kernel: [ 1.676403] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2011-10-19 01:37:26 UTC (1318988246) That's 3 spontaneous reboots in 11 minutes.
