Icecast - Sep 2004 - Tip: using icecast in chroot mode may break timestamp in access.log

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share this little bit of information.

If you're running Icecast in a chroot jail the timestamps in the access.log
file will almost certainly be in UTC times. If you want local timezone
timestamps you need to make sure the file /etc/localtime is in
<chrootdir>/etc/localtime.

If you use a different timezone settings (generated using tzselect for example).
You may need to copy the appropriate files from /usr/share/zoneinfo to your
chroot basedir.

Just thought I'd share this with you folk, since it took me about an hour to
figure it out.

Cheers,
