Hi,

I am not sure it this still is a point, but I just discovered that a 
chrooted rsync version 2.6.3pre1 is forgetting the time zone underways:

Jan 12 07:00:01 ftp4 rsyncd[11091]: rsync on dobes/ from dobes at edoc1.gwdg.de (134.76.28.251) 
Jan 12 06:00:39 ftp4 rsyncd[11091]: wrote 732542 bytes  read 182 bytes  total size 553909487945 

Logging is done with syslog.
Time zone is GMT+1, the system is set up to run the hardware clock as GMT.

You see, the session is starting under the correct time, but after 
chrooting and doing the work, time zone info "+1" is lost.

This does not happen on a different system (same setup) with rsync 
version 2.6.2:

Jan 12 00:00:08 ftp rsyncd[1090]: rsync on pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.1 from email.medizinische-genetik.de (62.245.197.183) 
Jan 12 00:00:10 ftp rsyncd[1090]: wrote 82006 bytes  read 117 bytes  total size 1327942093 


Cheers -e
