VSFTPD logging incorrect timestamp

Bumped into wrong time stamp in xferlog today.
 for some reason vsftpd has timezone of it's own & does not follow OS timezone... This is in RHEL 5.8 & vsftpd-2.0.5-24.el5_8.1

fix:
 To change the logging to use the local server time, set the following in /etc/vsftpd.conf and restart VSFTPD.
use_localtime=YES

service vsftpd restart
