I just check my /var/log/messages.log to see if there date time changing
all of the sudden, especially because I use
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime" ( UTC+2 here)

And I found something very strange
The kernel boot in "local time": at least the log
in /vaR/log/messages.log are in local time as soon there is some log
about the kernel boot up 
Jul 15 10:26:35 soho kernel: [    0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys
cpuset

all the other are also in localtime

BUT
all line about rtkit-daemon are in UTC ! that's what I found strange
even hours after the boot, rtkit-daemon line in mesageS.log still use
UTC instead of local time ! how is this possible ?

look at it
