That's easy enough.  So I rewrote the patch, and compiled, and here's
the patch plus the logging.

Nov 30 18:13:31 mail ftpd[2710]: connection from 192.168.1.8 (pvr.redfish-solutions.com) at Thu Nov 30 18:13:31 2006
Nov 30 18:13:35 mail ftpd[2710]: ANONYMOUS FTP LOGIN FROM 192.168.1.8, pvr.redfish-solutions.com (guest)
Dec  1 01:14:15 mail ftpd[2710]: get /pub/resume-ng.doc
Dec  1 01:14:15 mail ftpd[2710]: get: 55296 bytes transferred


So...  the "ANONYMOUS..." line is generated after the chroot, and has
the correct timezone.  But the two lines that follow didn't.

What was the theory about that again?
