[Pdns-users] Strange time drift in log

[Nikolaos Milas]

  Hmm,

I am not sure if I'll manage to compile myself...

In any case, I think this issue should be corrected for the next release 
of powerdns authoritative server, because it makes no sense to have 
logging in a different time than system time. So I really hope that the 
next releases and the associated RHEL / CentOS packages will be corrected.

The biggest problem is that logging in non-system time renders risky or 
infeasible the use of various log-based tools, like fail2ban etc, which 
take real-time action. It makes things difficult if someone is obliged 
to do time adjustments, esp. when there are different winter/summer 
times. Logging should be in system time.

Consequently, I hope this fix will find its way in future releases. If I 
can finally compile the code with the fix, or if someone can provide an 
rpm, I will test it.
