Date in restricted ftp is not correct

[Lukas Grijander]

Hello all. I??m having the next problem ... :

Telnet session :

# ll CA43600NC209XU.200203315*
-rw-r--r-- 1 sag sag 21311 Mar 31 05:17 CA43600NC209XU.2002033150040G

# cat /etc/TIMEZONE

TZ=MET-1METDST
export TZ

# set | grep -i tz
TZ=MET-1METDST

Now a ftp conection to this box with login user root :

ftp> dir CA43600NC209XU.200203315*
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
-rw-r--r-- 1 sag sag 21311 Mar 31 05:17 CA43600NC209XU.2002033150040G
226 Transfer complete.

As we can see is the same file date/time, but let??s do a restricted ftp user conection :

ftp> dir CA43600NC209XU.2002033150*
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
-rw-r--r-- 1 101 101 21311 Mar 31 04:17 CA43600NC209XU.2002033150040G
226 Transfer complete.

The file date/time differs one hour !!

Any idea ??

Thanks in advance.

Did you check if a /usr/lib/tztab is visible? If ftpd uses chroot (which I think it does for restricted ftp), there may be no tztab, which means the switch between normal and DST in MET-1METDST is done according to the American rules, which mean switching to DST on the first Sunday in April and not the last in March. So the problem may go away next week

Thank you very much Melvyn.

Copying /usr/lib/tztab to /home_of_restricted_user/usr/lib/tztab , /home_of_restricted_user/usr/bin/ls works fine.

Best Regards.
