A restart of the log daemon would be sufficient.
Syslogd executes time() and ctime() which correspond to the timezone
settings from when the program was started.
(void) time(&now);
timestamp = ctime(&now) + 4;
I don't think there's a way to tell a running program that it's
running in different timezone suddenly.
As ctime() is provided by glibc I'm reassigning this bug there. If
there is a "solution" to this that can be implemented in syslogd,
please let me know and reassign the report back.
Regards,
Joey
