The ls -l shows the current time in GMT plus or minus your time zone setting. Of course, all you see is the local time. What he's saying is that the timestamp in the file is the seconds since the epoch, and the epoch for you is adjusted from GMT according to what time zone setting you have configured. The epoch, BTW, is Jan 1, 1970, 12:00 AM. -- Regards...
