Hello guys,
The last weekend we had a very weird problem with some FBSD servers that for no reason did reset their date:
Three FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE servers and one FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE running each one Apache servers with MySQL, PHP, and Postfix as MTA, did reset their date exactly to 1993, 28 February (?). We corrected this with the date() command, but we have no idea about what happened, we haven't seen any security breach, and verified that our crontabs nor any script was not the culprit.
What we DO have in the crontab of all this four servers is the following command:
So, please, could someone enlighten us?
Thanks in advance.
