I am running Fedora Core 5 on a dual PIII 450 Mhz machine, 1 GB of RAM,
and OpensSSH_4.3p2/Open SSL 0.9.8a...
I am experiencing odd timestamps generated from sshd. Basically
whenever someone tries to login via ssh I see timestamps for the current
time and then for a few hours before and then current time again. For
instance, here is a sample from /var/log/messages (disregard the
ellipses as I chopped out the usernames/ip addresses):
Oct 23 08:57:26 adminserver sshd[19422]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:30* adminserver sshd[19423]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:30 adminserver sshd[19424]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:34* adminserver sshd[19425]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:34 adminserver sshd[19426]: Failed password for invalid
user ... ssh2
The above was generated by executing:
grep sshd /var/log/messages | grep Failed
Has anyone ever experienced this?
Thanks ahead of time...I have spent a few weeks trying to research this
and have found nothing to help me.
