ftp -> ftp_server (joel hammer)

To set the local timezone into your xferlog or syslog, 
you need to copy the zoneinfo file to the ~ftp tree. 

In general, /etc/localtime is a link to /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/...
But you cannot use soft-link with ftp daemons because when 
the ftp daemon runs, it might not be able to access /etc.

The solution is to duplicate the zone file in ~ftp/etc.
Taking wu-ftpd and Caldera Openlinux as an example: 

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles  /home/ftp/etc/localtime

Change "Los_Angeles" to your own time zone reference.
Now syslog would record the right time.

The pivotal point is the "second chance", judged by another set of
criteria.
