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 Additional info: reported upstream at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10742
