Linux date as filepro sees it

What timezone is the box configured for?  If you adjust that back to UTC,
does the date actually come out on the 26th?

Could be ignoring TZ or other locale settings, with the time stored in UTC
in the BIOS (which is more common these days).  All you'd need is to hit
GMT -0200 to get the results you're seeing.  UTC is more or less GMT, so
it's 2hrs even further in that direction.

What's the BIOS clock say?  That's the real indicator given the lines along
which I'm thinking.
