One more reason to make all logging go through dovecot-master process..

Temporary fix of course is setting login_chroot = no to config file.

Thanks, Timo, that did the trick.

Also thanks to Quentin for his reply, though I don't understand any of it. As stated, my knowledge of unix is rather limited...

It's because the logging process is chrooted, doesn't have TZ env. var. set, and doesn't have a correct /etc/localtime (or whatever your libc uses) _inside_ the chroot directory. Therefore its timezone is the default, UTC (formerly known as GMT).

As I understand it, it would be a good idea to come up with a more permanent fix. However, I have no idea where to begin. Timo writes about making all logging go through the dovecot-master process – can anyone point me in the direction of information on how to accomplish this?

Quentin writes about TZ env. var. (TimeZone?), /etc/localtime and the chroot directory. I'm sorry, Quentin, but I need a bit more info. I have the correct /etc/localtime, as far as I can tell. I've tried looking up TZ env. var. in my man-pages, but haven't come up with anything. I'll copy my /etc/localtime to the login_dir and see if this is enough.

Thanks again, guys! /Lars
