Hello David,

it was luckily easier than that!

I checked with an extension in my DP that reads me the 'Asterisk time'  
and it was correct.
At least after I tinkered a little with the time zones settings of the  
OS, but still with strange CDR times.

So that I went looking into the CDR config file and noticed that I had  
the default choice of using GMT time for the CSV logs.

So, no surprise that Asterisk was doing it...

Thanks and best regards,
Aldo
