I'm still using Diald 0.16 (patch 5), and this version does not use localtime
explicitly,
it just calls syslog and lets the glibc code do the rest. While I haven't fully
analysed
what's happening, I have fixed the problem by having diald call tzset as soon as it
starts up (just before calling openlog). Chat does this. The same trick works with
ntpdate, which, I noticed, also logged UTC times.
