Daemons will almost always use the system's default time zone (the one specified by /etc/localtime or /etc/timezone). It's *theoretically* possible for some daemons to be configured to use a different time zone, or to be hard-coded to use UTC. I've never seen this, but it could be done. Usually a daemon's time zone will only affect log messages that it writes. It's uncommon for a daemon process to use a time zone for anything other than timestamping messages. Of course, it depends on the individual daemon.
