Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-9
Severity: normal


Despite the fact that "TimesGMT off" is included in proftpd.conf, the
FTP clients are seeing UTC file dates instead of the local time zone
(CST/CDT).

I suspect this is likely to be an upstream bug, but I figured that if I didn't
start here, the ProFTPD folks would just refer me back here first.

contents of proftpd.conf:

#
# Includes required DSO modules. This is mandatory in proftpd 1.3
#
Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody/nogroup" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

Since version 2.5-1, tzname[0] contains UTC for unexisting timezones
such as CST, so it is now consistent with the returned date.

Closing the bug.
