 SYMPTOM:

 When an IBM Netfinity server has Netfinity manager installed
 and running and is connected to an IBM Netfinity server with
 Netfinity manager as a client, alerts from the client server's
 Netfinity Advanced System Management will have different time
 stamp from when the event occurred.

 Netfinity manager is correcting for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
 and Netfinity Advanced System Management clock was set for
 local time. The time difference will be from the client server's
 local time to GMT.
