alfmarius LQ Newbie Registered: Apr 2006 Posts: 3 Rep:	/var/log/auth.log doens't have correct date and hostname (Solution) I just post this here for reference to a newbee problem I had, and found the solution for. When changing the date and hostname on my debian server I noticed that the log /var/log/auth.log didn't have the new date and hostname! A user on another forum pointed me to the solution: /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart case closed!
