[nsd-users] nsd looses timezone after chroot

After chrooting the timezone is wrong in the logging:

See (unpatched daemon ran first):
Sep 20 19:53:11 xmts nsd[32253]: nsd started (NSD 3.2.13), pid 32253
Sep 20 19:54:16 xmts nsd[32253]: signal received, shutting down...
Sep 20 21:54:18 xmts nsd[13502]: nsd started (NSD 3.2.13), pid 13502

chdir() after chroot() is good practice.

Note that unbound has the tzet() but not the chdir().  But I guess the 
unbound devs read this list too?  :-)

Regards,
Cam
