I am running Fedora Core 5 on a dual PIII 450 Mhz machine, 1 GB of RAM,
and OpensSSH_4.3p2/Open SSL 0.9.8a...

I am experiencing odd timestamps generated from sshd.  Basically
whenever someone tries to login via ssh I see timestamps for the current
time and then for a few hours before and then current time again.  For
instance, here is a sample from /var/log/messages (disregard the
ellipses as I chopped out the usernames/ip addresses):

Oct 23 08:57:26 adminserver sshd[19422]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:30* adminserver sshd[19423]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:30 adminserver sshd[19424]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:34* adminserver sshd[19425]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:34 adminserver sshd[19426]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2

Are your sshd daemon running chroot'ed? If so, you probably need to establish 
the directory /etc under the jail and copy /etc/localtime into this new dir. 
I had a very similar problem with postfix/smtpd and it resolved by: 
mkdir /var/spool/postfix/etc (owned by root) and then: 
cp /etc/localtime /var/spool/postfix/etc
