It's probably the result of the TZ environment variable getting
set/changed at some point in the ssh login (which these days is normally
pretty complex process-wise due to the "privilege separation" used -
there is a "main" sshd daemon running as root as usual, but a
non-privileged sshd process runs the protocol handshake, and then there
is another sshd process that runs as the logged-in user...). Anyway
nothing to do with ntpd, as already established.
