           Summary: rsync does not set TZ variable after chroot(), which
                    confuses logging timestamps
           Product: rsync

Hi,
after chroot(), "current" timezone is changed in chrooted process which leads
to the following output in logs:

May 29 20:00:35 nec-em12 rsyncd[9770]: connect from localhost.localdomain
(127.0.0.1) 
May 29 20:00:35 nec-em12 rsyncd[9770]: rsync to my_data/ from
localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) 
May 30 00:00:35 nec-em12 rsyncd[9770]: receiving file list 
May 30 00:00:35 nec-em12 rsyncd[9770]: client/ 
May 30 00:00:35 nec-em12 rsyncd[9770]: client/data/

Proper time is 20:00:35.

Attached patch fixes this issue by caching current timezone and setting TZ
variable after chroot() call.
