syslog reporting incorrect time
Hello,
First thanks for ‘-Z’ option in syslog. It appears that syslog is displaying the incorrect time.
The appropriate files were created/symlink’ed after running setup-alpine timezone
localhost:~# cat /etc/alpine-release
3.6.2
localhost:~# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Sep 13 20:40 /etc/localtime -> /etc/zoneinfo/America/New_York
localhost:~# ls -l /etc/zoneinfo/America/New_York
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3545 Sep 13 20:40 /etc/zoneinfo/America/New_York
localhost:~# cat /etc/conf.d/syslog
SYSLOGD_OPTS="-Z"
The ‘-Z’ was also used in /etc/conf.d/syslog.
When running date, the correct time is shown:
localhost:~# date
Wed Sep 13 20:59:45 EDT 2017
When creating a log entry using logger, the timestamp is incorrect (one hour behind):
localhost:~# logger "message 1"
localhost:~# tail -1 /var/log/messages
Sep 13 19:59:53 localhost user.notice root: message 1
