  • A related question is unix.stackexchange.com/q/605207/5132 , where the questioner is in Kolkata rather than Dubai or the Seychelles. You should tell people your default timezone, how your RTC is being understood, and what system management toolset (systemd, runit, upstart, et al.) you are using with (say) the output of timedatectl or some such, edited into the question.

The last column shows how long the user has logged in as a difference between login and logout time, negative time may be listed when the clocks were not in sync i.e. the date/time was incorrect when the time was logged.
