Hey everybody, I am new to the Cent forums, here is my question
I was reviewing the "secure" log in /var/log and I noticed some strange
differances in the timestamps of the messages
the first entry was 22:20:11
and the next was 15:32:33
and then 22:12:23 and so on.......
the date and year is clearly the same jun12th can anyone offer a possible explanation?
security log timestamps
security log timestamps
It's possible the message was queued to syslog but not completed prior to the other entries.
For instance a program writes a message to a syslog channel but does not complete the message being sent then terminates with the message being sent it would delay the timestamp.
You could suspend a program that was speaking with syslog and generate the same effect when you resumed it.
