(Sorry, but I don't know how to be brief in this matter, mail is long. Please
cc any follow-ups, I'm not subscribed)
Last night something weird happened, and I'd like to know what, so I'm asking
if someone knows what logfiles I should look at, given the following:
I was reading email around 1:00-2:00, when I noticed my system time had changed
by itself at some time, the two following lines are from the same xterm window,
I just pressed enter between:
[1:38] /storage>
[1:29] /storage>
Earlier in the evening I had another weird stuff happening when gkrellm, xmbmon
and mldonkey all started to eat cpu consuming all they could get, and system
became Very slow, so I killed those processes, and the following ps ax is from
an xterm buffer when I was doing that. Note that I believe the time had already
been changed at this time, so that 1:09 is not actually correct:
[1:09] /home/sjuke>ps ax

I didn't give it so much thought at night, but in the morning I realized that
daily run outputs were dated WAY wrong, and indeed the last correct output was
dated Sep-29 02:02, after that I have monthly run Jan-01 year 1970 05:30, daily
run Jan-01 year 1970 03:02, and daily run Jan-02 year 1970 03:01.
Then I ran the following:
[6:19] /home/sjuke>date
Fri Jan 2 06:19:45 CET 1970
[6:21] /home/sjuke>su
Password:
[6:21] /home/sjuke# date 200210010733
Tue Oct 1 07:33:00 CEST 2002
[7:33] /home/sjuke#
Now it's all running ok again, and I would think it's just me who have messed
up some Daylight Saving Time setting (the 1 hour difference in the script
startup time between before and after change), but what worries me is these:
1) Year has changed to 1970, it's almost like the clock would have been reset
to epoch.
2) Timezone had changed to CET by itself, and when I ran date, it changed to
CEST.
3) I didn't notice the change of time until night 2002-10-01, because gkrellm
reported date 2002-09-30 correctly all monday, and all xterm windows (tcsh's)
were in correct time until 2002-10-01. It's almost as if I lost a day somewhere.
4) Pc has been turned on before 29th, so this didn't happen in conjunction with
some rebooting:
[18:26] /home/sjuke>uptime
6:26PM up 4 days, 14:35, 3 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
My pc:
FreeBSD sjukebox 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #6: Thu Sep 12 18:24:11 CEST
2002 sjuke@sjukebox:/usr/src/sys/compile/NETTI2002 i386
And it's behind firewall/gateway
FreeBSD shoebox.home 4.7-RC FreeBSD 4.7-RC #1: Fri Sep 27 00:32:32 CEST 2002
sjuke@sjukebox:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GATER i386
in case this would be work of some trojan or something.
So, if someone has any idea what happened, or how to find out what happened,
I'd sure like to get any pointers.
