Today I changed the file /etc/rsyslog.conf since I noticed the old Fedora 8 version was still in use. Now with the version 3 the System Log Viewer is given a proper date format. The file /var/log/messages changed data format: 2009-09-13T18:18:17.294254+03:00 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.1" x-pid="2128" x-info="http://www.r syslog.com"] exiting on signal 15.
