[Zope] Z2.log and Date stamps 2nd Call for answers????

[Ken Weiss]

I can confirm and reproduce this problem, and on a totally different 
architecture - Red Hat Linux system with Zope 2.1.4. Here's a snippet 
from my /var/log/messages file:

Mar  8 10:14:18 akpi ZServer[24689]: 127.0.0.1- -
[08/Mar/2000:18:14:18 -0700] "GET /manage" 401 1782


Notice that the timestamp from the syslog facility is the correct 
local time, March 8 10:14:18, which is Pacific Standard Time. On the 
very same line, the timestamp passed to the syslog from Z2 is in GMT, 
08/Mar/2000:18:14:18 -0700. My guess is that Zope isn't picking up 
the $TZ environment variable. What I don't get is why it's showing 
GMT as 18:14:18 -0700. That would imply a local time of 11:14:18. I 
think it should be 18:14:18 -0800 right now, and -0700 during 
daylight savings time. Two, two, two bugs in one!
