Date/times in ASPNETDB membership table are in GMT

[GaryC]

I am using Forms based user authentication (with the default ms sql
membership provider).

There are no problems login on and off.

However...

When users login on my web site, the login date/time data in the database
appears to be GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) instead of the server's local time
(Eastern US). Is this by design?

All other functionality on my MS SQL Server 2000 databases use local time.

I assume (always a dangerous thing to do) that the default ASP.NET 2.0 SQL
MEMBERSHIP PROVIDER is doing this. Are there any configuration settings
needing changes?

Anyone who can help, please respond.
