Description Jeff Bastian 2009-10-06 22:07:13 UTC
Description of problem:
When nscd debugging is enabled, the debug log file does not contain timestamps.
If you're trying to debug a sporadic problem, it can be difficult to map debug
log entries to when the problem actually happened without timestamps.

Attached is a patch to add timestamps to the nscd debug log.

It also uses the thread id instead of the process id on Linux systems.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.4-2.43
nscd-2.3.4-2.43

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit /etc/nscd.conf and set
        logfile                 /var/log/nscd.log
        debug-level             9
2. restart nscd
3. tail -f /var/log/nscd.log
  
Actual results:
no timestamps on the log messages

Expected results:
timestamps
