Beside this the line is only active for root to be able to log every command exactly. The format is simply seconds since epoch for every command and not only the last session. This was a security request from large vendors using SLES and as I alway use the same source tree for SLES and openSUSE, therefore it is very unlikly that I will switch back. To identify the correct date simply use the bash builtin called history: /suse/werner> rm .bash_history /suse/werner> bash werner@test:~> HISTTIMEFORMAT=${HISTTIMEFORMAT:-"%F %H:%M:%S "} werner@test:~> ls werner@test:~> history 1 2011-06-27 17:17:46 HISTTIMEFORMAT=${HISTTIMEFORMAT:-"%F %H:%M:%S "} 2 2011-06-27 17:17:47 ls 3 2011-06-27 17:17:51 history werner@test:~> exit /suse/werner> as you can see, the date is shown correctly. Also compare with the manual pageo of the bash: HISTTIMEFORMAT If this variable is set and not null, its value is used as a format string for strftime(3) to print the time stamp associated with each history entry displayed by the history builtin. If this variable is set, time stamps are written to the history file so they may be preserved across shell sessions. This uses the history comment character to distinguish timestamps from other history lines. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is, as mentioned, an 11.4 update with the current security and tumbleweed patches - Since I am not using the factory repositories, I was not aware that this was a 'factory' install. You may not have changed anything, but I certainly have not made any changes to the HISTTIMEFORMAT setting on any of these machines, and I have not intentionally made any changes to /etc/bash.bashrc. There were significant and unexpected changes to my history log file which I was reporting since I could not find any reference to any changes in the documentation. If this is the current intended behavior, then you can close this as working as designed, and I will just unset the HISTTIMEFORMAT to restore the previous behavior on my systems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
