From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010914 Description of problem: After configuring ntp, and getting my machines time syncronized, I noticed my syslog entries still had the old timestamp on them. I had to restart syslog manually to get it to recognize the new time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set time to bogus time using 'date' 2.restart syslogd 3./etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd restart 4. check system date 'date' which should be ntpd sync'd date now 3.check /var/log/messages for entries with "bogus" time Actual Results: Bogus time showed. Expected Results: date/time from ntp server should show on all log files Additional info:
Very sorry this bug seems to have escaped attention for so long - I've recently taken over maintenance of the sysklogd package. This bug is definitely fixed with all current sysklogd/glibc/ntpd versions (unable to determine which component originally caused this bug. Closing out.
