timestamps and timezone

[alex medvedev <alexm () pycckue org>]

Hi,

so what is the latest trend on the timestamp accuracy?
do you think nanoseconds are the future?
just wondering because struct timeval is usually defined in sec/usec.

also, what are the benefits of having the timezone in the dump file set
[to anything other than 0]?
i'd rather see the local time where the dump was collected than my local
time at that moment.
and if i do want to see what hour it was at my location, i can export TZ
before running tcpdump -r as was pointed out on this list back in december.
