[Icecast] Icecast Logs Timestamp in UTC

[Bryan D. Brown]

Never mind. I figured it out. I added:

export TZ=PST8PDT

to the .bashrc for the user under which icecast runs, and it fixed the problem. Oops...

Although if some sees something I should fix... :)

The timestamp on the logfiles themselves is accurate, but the logging of the various connections to my streams is in UTC.  No matter how I try to configure the hwclock or the system clock, the log timestamp is always UTC, which is 8 hours ahead of my current time zone. I've even tried setting the hwclock to localtime, but to no avail.

I'm including my conf.d/clock settings and the result of 'date',  'hwclock --show' and 'uname -a' as well. I should also mention that the timestamps in my other logfiles (/var/log/messages for example) are accurately timestamped - the icecast logs are the only place where this UTC issue occurs.
