Title:
  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

Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This can be avoided as described here upstream:

  http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Timestamps.html

  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.
