------- Comment #1 from dtucker at zip.com.au  2006-08-06 17:12 -------
Actually the TZ environment variable is there but because the privsep
slave is chrooted it does not have access to the /etc/localtime file
that tells how to interpret the TZ string.

The workaround is to create /etc/localtime inside the chroot ("mkdir
/var/empty/etc && cp -a /etc/localtime /var/empty/etc/" if you have
the
chroot in the standard place).
