Time change entry in syslog

[M. Tariq Ayub]

Hi,

I have 6 hp9000 serrver running HP-UX11i. for some tesing we need to change system time. i want to monitor this time chaning events. the systems are not trusted.

How and from where i can find these log.

[Steven E. Protter]

Get out a pad and paper, because last time I changed a system time it wasn't logged.

I may be wrong, I've spent 4 days taking care of my kids alone, but if there is an entry its in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Date changes are not logged in syslog by default, whether the change of time is forward or backwards.
You could write a small wrapper script that does it for you. If however you use NTP, then synchronisation changes can be logged.

Michael is right :
1) date changes are not logged to syslog.log
2) just write a script like this and use it to change date and log a any modification :
#!/sbin/sh
date $1
logger -t 'shell-date' -p -i user.warn "changing date to : `date`"

3) use ntp to log informations date into syslog.log
