Hello,
Would anyone know why the syslog generated by SSHD is jumping
around in time?
The date/time tags are after all created by the syslog
daemon, so the date/time should be monotonically increasing.
Instead, I see this, with lines marked 03:00 coming after
lines marked 05:00 etc. I should probably mention that
syslogd is configured to "not flush"
the log after each line, but that should have not influence,
shouldn't it?

If you're experiencing the same problem I had a few months ago, it is a

The fix still seems to be pending.
The way I got around it is to create a hard link between
/var/empty/sshd/etc/localtime (needed to create a few of those directories)
to /etc/localtime. syslog uses the timezone of the client logging in. The
hard link creates a link between the localtime and the chroot'ed localtime.
I use a hard link because I'm not sure how a symbolic link would work
through a chroot and a simple copy would lose any new modifications to
/etc/localtime. It corrects the time issue (useful if you're running a
script that uses the time) but you still get duplicate messages. Works for
me.

Thank you Michael ... that's it I guess. Will try the fix later today.
Best regards,
