When proftpd uses chroot to keep ftp users in their own home directory, glibc loses the tz setting out of /etc/localtime and logs get mixed local and GMT time

Bug Description
This can be avoided as described here upstream:
http://
Please make this line:
SetEnv TZ :/etc/localtime
part of the default config for proftpd on Ubuntu as it drives proper behavior from glibc, proftpd, and chroot.
Technically TZ should be exported in some other config or init script, but this is a good workaround.
