Odd timestamps with vsftpd

    I just noticed this on my FC5 machine: the vsftpd log file doesn't 
have the correct time stamps in it:

    > tail -1 /var/log/vsftpd
    Wed Nov  8 18:08:55 2006 [pid 7904] [sunshyn] OK UPLOAD:
            Client "216.x.x.x", "/roospark102006.gif", 2349043 bytes, 
10.88Kbyte/sec


    But the file itself has the correct time on it:

    > ls -l ~sunshyn/roospark102006.gif
    -rw-r--r-- 1 sunshyn sunshyn 2349043 Nov  8 11:08
            /home/sunshyn/roospark102006.gif


    Looks like vsftpd doesn't take into account the timezone I'm in when 
it's writing to its log file.  Is anyone else noticing this?
