[syslog-ng]Timezone problem with syslog-ng

  Greetings.

  First of all, hello to everybody as this is my first post.

  I am not too sure if this falls into the "problems" or "feature requests"
section.

 The matter is I have noticed that syslog-ng is using UTC instead of local
time, as I'd like it to do. I am using the "use_time_recv" option and server
is configured for MET timezone (BTW it is Solaris 9).

  This is affecting both filenames (I am using variations of
.../$WEEKDAY/$HOST and yesterday files have a timestamp of "dec 19 00:59"
local time) and the file contents (i.e. first columns).

  syslog-ng version is 1.6.0rc4.

  I must, anyway, congratulate the authors: we have been running syslog-ng
for quite a while (in a server configured with UTC :>) and it has been
proved being very effective (it is a very dated host being log server for a
lot of networking devices, some of them generating more than 1GB logs/day
and has a 0.05-0.08 load).
