OpenSSH logging with GMT on Connection close?

I've got a Fedora 8 machine here running sshd (OpenSSH_4.7p1, OpenSSL  
0.9.8b 04 May 2006) and when it closes a connection, it reports in / 
var/log/secure a timestamp that's in GMT rather than in localtime:

   Aug  7 17:45:31 sshhost sshd[22039]: pam_unix(sshd:session):  
session closed for user userone
   Aug  7 21:49:04 sshhost sshd[22092]: Connection closed by  
192.168.1.123
   Aug  7 17:54:57 sshhost sshd[22588]: Accepted publickey for  
usertwo from 192.168.1.123 port 52016 ssh2

I'm curious if anybody else sees this.  I'd prefer my security logs  
have consistent timestamps.

Thanks,
-Bill
