Description Nuno Alexandre 2003-12-20 12:27:07 UTC
When using ULOGD to manage the firewall logfiles, it displays the wrong date on the logs,This is confirmed by several people, please see here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=720586#720586


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ULOGD ( latest stable version on portage )
2. Configure ULOGD to manage the firewall logs like its described in shorewall.net
3.observe the logs files with tail -f /var/log/ulogd/ulogd.system

Actual Results:  
The timestamp on the logs is static at : Jan 26 19:45:32


Expected Results:  
The correct timestamp which the system is using, that would be "Dec 20 20:20:12"


firewall used is shorewall ( www.shorewall.net )
ULOGD from http://gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd

I wonder, if it's doing the old style date -d instead of the new style
Comment 2 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-03 03:42:10 UTC
1.02 should fix the date printout. I'm unmasking it now.
Comment 3 Garth Coghlan 2004-12-20 02:06:57 UTC
I'm using ulogd 1.02 (from portage) but I still have this problem.  The datestamp on my shorewall-2.0.4 messages in /var/log/ulogd.syslogemu is fixed at "Jan  1 10:00:00".

Apologies, I didn't search properly.  Relevant bug is here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56729

Hopefully upgrading my kernel (development-sources-2.6.7) will fix things.
