Description Al Smith 2004-03-08 23:20:27 AEDT

TZ is set and exported at the time when sshd is started.

However, by the time one arrives at line 1029 in session.c where
TZ is supposed to be propagated to the child's environment it is
no longer set. All users of the machine are thus destined to live
in GMT.

Maybe the setting of environ[0] to NULL at line 1111 of sshd.c should at
least try and preserve $TZ for future use?

This was fixed a couple of hours ago:
 - (dtucker) [sshd.c] Back out rev 1.270 as it caused problems on some
   platforms (eg SCO, HP-UX) with logging in the wrong TZ.  ok djm@

Please try tomorrow's snapshot and re-open this bug if there are still problems.

This affects several platforms including HPUX and SCO.  (Hopefully changing the
platforms will let people find it easier).
