is it possible that a local user changed the time (maybe with a GUI app) around the time of these attempts? (failed attempts like this are normal for a machine hooked to the internet without ACLs BTW, the problem is the strange timestamp <<for the benefit of casual onlookers in the thread) Gord -- latest ITU-T declaration: all syslogs must show timestamps in Geneva time
