What does `date` say?
Something like "Sat Nov 14 17:13:52 MET"?

If not, you haven't set up your timezone correctly. On *BSD systems it's
often a link /etc/localtime->/usr/share/zoneinfo/MET - if your computer
is located in this TZ of course.

Why? My computers (running NetBSD+RISC OS) all have their hardware clock
set to UTC/GMT/ZULU/+0. IIRC only DOS (windows?) cannot cope with
timezones and their offsets correctly and demands hardware clocks
running localtime.

BTW:
It would be a nice thing, to get squid reporting in local time instead
of GMT.
