rsync - Aug 2014 - [Bug 10772] New: Bad time logging as daemon

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10772

           Summary: Bad time logging as daemon
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.1
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: davegradwell at yahoo.co.uk
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When the rsync daemon logs, it fails to determine the correct time:
2014/08/18 18:47:24 [1002] connect from localhost (::1)
2014/08/18 17:47:24 [1003] rsync to dave/in-progress/data/ from dave at
localhost
(::1)

When I specify use chroot = false in the rsyncd.conf, it logs the time
correctly:
2014/08/18 19:21:32 [1138] connect from localhost (::1)
2014/08/18 19:21:32 [1139] rsync to dave/in-progress/data/ from dave at
localhost
(::1)

There's nothing more rsync can do about this.  It always calls a time
function
prior to going into the chroot, but if your OS decides to re-check the time
files after that, you'll need to either supply those files in the chroot, or
live with the alternate timezone.  See the rsyncd.conf manpage for how to setup
a deeper dir in a chroot that doesn't allow the user to see the chrooted
timezone files (e.g. "Path = /chroot/./copy-dir" allows you to create
/chroot/etc that the user can't get to) and/or the exclude option (in the
config file).

Perhaps rsync should instead of calling a time function, first determine the
offset from UTC that local time is, and then whenever a timestamp is printed
first apply that delta and ignore timezones altogether after that.
Of course you lose the capability of showing the timezone (apart from [-+]HHMM)
but that's not done anyway AFAIK.
