Topic: [Fixed] Different timestamp in /var/log/*
Hi, all.
* Severity: LOW
* Affected iRedMail/iRedOS versions: ALL
* Description of problem:
Postfix logs the same message twice in /var/log/maillog, one with a correct timestamp, one with a wrong timestamp (utc). e.g.
May 15 12:57:23 amadeus postfix/smtpd[8227]: A90F95B6E0E: client=amadeus.keymarket.cl[127.0.0.1]
May 15 08:57:23 amadeus postfix/cleanup[9032]: A90F95B6E0E: message-id=<46747b8b7d7d2a01d4b90b69a604b999.squirrel@www.keymarket.cl>
* Root case:
Postfix need to read /etc/localtime to set timezone and log the correct timestamp, but it runs under chrooted in /var/spool/postfix/, it can't read /etc/localtime at all.
* Solution:
Copy /etc/localtime to /var/spool/postfix/etc/ and restart postfix:
# cp -f /etc/localtime /var/spool/postfix/etc/
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
Don't use UTC in /etc/sysconfig/clock:
UTC=false
This issue should be fixed.
