That question is out of scope for this forum -- we don't get to decide what 
that API is.  The documentation describes the way in which tzset changes 
the timezone settings; it does not say anything about it ever leaving them 
unchanged.

I think Ken's conclusion is correct - if you want logging in a chroot jail 
to produce correct timestamps, then you must set up the jail with the 
necessary files to enable that to work.  This is a general issue, not a 
problem with Kerberos or gssftpd, and not one that can be easily worked 
around.
