Daemons will almost always use the system's default time zone (the one
specified by /etc/localtime or /etc/timezone).
It's *theoretically* possible for some daemons to be configured to use
a different time zone, or to be hard-coded to use UTC. I've never seen
this, but it could be done.
Usually a daemon's time zone will only affect log messages that it
writes. It's uncommon for a daemon process to use a time zone for
anything other than timestamping messages. Of course, it depends on
the individual daemon.
