I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 and I noticed that /var/log/auth.log does not include year (YYYY) in the log entries. My daily cron jobs recently sent notice that there were some failed login attempts on July 3 to an account that was removed many months ago. This raised concern, so I did a thorough check and determined that the failed login attempt occurred July 03 of 2003, _not_ 2004.
Shouldn't auth.log include the full YYYY-MM-DD date to avoid confusion in case auth.log doesn't rotate between years? This should apply to all logs, especially security related logs...
Thanks,
