Are your sshd daemon running chroot'ed? If so, you probably need to establish the directory /etc under the jail and copy /etc/localtime into this new dir. I had a very similar problem with postfix/smtpd and it resolved by: mkdir /var/spool/postfix/etc (owned by root) and then: cp /etc/localtime /var/spool/postfix/etc Knut
