Quite. I didn't think of that. In which case, I would either create
the symlink using /home/ftp/etc/localtime or, better, copy the file to
into the chrooted directory. You have to use statically linked
executables in a chroot environment because dynamically linked
libraries are such a pain (making sure to create all the necessary
links is a tedious undertaking), so copying (or hard linking,
perhaps?) the time zone file maybe simpler. YMMV.

The sig was random. I delete the blatantly offensive ones. Chang, no
offense intended.
