+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #201019 +++ Description of problem: I'm running rsyncd and it seems to be getting confused with the time-zone when logging. Here's a typical entry in messages: Aug 2 09:30:01 rsyncd[8174]: rsync on /home from user@host (192.168.0.1) Aug 2 08:30:01 rsyncd[8174]: wrote 2629 bytes read 122 bytes total size 626582 The correct local time is 09:30:01, whereas GMT is 08:30:01. So for some reason it logs its first entry in local time, then the second entry in GMT. Every other application logs using local time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rsyncd 2. Connect to it and perform some operation Actual results: The two log entries generated by rsyncd in messages use different time zones. Expected results: The two log entries generated by rsyncd in messages both use local time. --- Additional comment from d.tonhofer on 2007-10-21 23:29:59 CEST --- Same as bug #205326 --- Additional comment from ssorce on 2007-10-22 09:30:58 CEST --- *** Bug 205326 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** --- Additional comment from jzeleny on 2010-03-05 11:04:59 CET --- Since there is only one more release of RHEL-4 planned and it will be focused on security and performance, I'm planning to close this bug as WONTFIX. Can you please confirm this behavior in RHEL5 or is it solved there? --- Additional comment from dj.uk on 2010-03-18 19:20:21 CET --- I'm afraid I no longer have a RHEL system to test this with, but I managed to find this upstream bug, which says that this bug was fixed in rsync 2.6.9: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2607 --- Additional comment from jzeleny on 2010-03-19 08:47:35 CET --- Thank you very much. It looks like the issue hasn't been fixed in RHEL-5. I'm copying the bug there and closing this one.
