Re: Future timestamps in /var/log/secure

It is classic syslogd
syslogd -v


syslogd 1.4.1

I was thinking timezone but we are PST (-8:00) so I can not explain the
+12:00 difference.


Isn't the timestamps inserted by syslog rather then the reporting
program itself?

What syslog do you use - classic (ie: sysklogd) or a modern one like
rsyslog? It almost looks like the timezone got changed from local to GMT
or similar, then swapped back (as odd as it may sound).

Perhaps time to file a bug report with the author of the syslog daemon
you use?
