Times Displayed Incorrectly
Problem
I'm running wu-ftpd on CentOS 4.x (see how to build on FC2 which works on CentOS 4.x). When I display file times through the ftp server, they are wrong. The
FAQ on the subject doesn't help me.
Solution
On my system, there was no TZ environment variable set. wu-ftpd seemed to be reading the times on disk and displaying them in UTC instead of my local timezone.The solution was to doctor the environment inherited by wu-ftpd from xinetd by modifying the file /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd (see the env line):# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION
nice = 10
env = TZ='EST5EDT'
}
