Subject: Wrong Timestamps in /var/log/messages from ipmon
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 16:10:42 +1100

Using
ipmon -Dsv

We were seeing timestamps in /var/log/messages that were 11 hours out from our real timezone... other messages (interspersed) from other programs were correctly timestamped. Date was returning the correct time, and we are running xntpd against our timeserver.

We reset the /etc/locatime via /stand/sysinstall then killed ipmon and restarted it and all the timestamps are now correct.. Any ideas.. ?
Which timestamps ? Can you show messages ?
Note that in log message you have two timestamps:
1. The time when ipmon log to syslogd
2. The time when ipfilter log to /dev/ipl

When ipmon is run it read ipl buffer and log messages if there is any,
and they may be from 11 seconds, 11 hours or 11 days ...
