as far as I know, you cannot change the logging format of the old syslog
daemon.
reading between the lines I think that you are saying that the server you
are logging to is rsyslog, is this correct?
If you are logging in rsyslog using a format that includes the timezone,
but the system sending you the log doesn't include what timezone that
server is in, rsyslog makes the guess that the sending server is in the
same timezone as the receiving server and sets the timezone accordingly.
I would suggest that you compile rsyslog for RHEL5 and replace the syslog
daemon on those systems (the version that came with RHEL5 is old enough
that it's not supported by rsyslog any longer, that version only gets
support from Red Hat)
The other option would be to put all your systems on the same timezone
(and I would strongly recommend putting them on UTC, it avoids a lot of
hassles)

Hi,
my RHEL5 are legacy syslog clients and they don't report time right. They
report client-time but server-timezone...
RHEL6 rsyslog-client did the same thing before i added:
$ActionForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat

Hi List,
we are running some older RHEL5 syslog-client (that can't be upgraded due
to software on them) running the old syslog daemon.
I configured my new rsyslog RHEL6 clients with the following:
$ActionForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat
and that did the trick for them...
(How) can I get same result with the old syslog daemon on my syslog
clients
?
First off, this sounds like a question to send to RedHat because you are
asking how to configure their non-rsyslog daemon.
but before we can help you, what is the actual problem you are having?
is RHEL5 the sender or the receiver of the log message?
what are you getting, and what do you think you should be getting?
