I haven't upgraded to -12 yet (still on -9), but logread doesn't seem to get its time updated:
Sat Jan 17 03:41:38 1970 authpriv.notice dropbear[3747]: Pubkey auth succeeded for 'root' with key md5 2a:6d:49:b6:74:91:9c:34:f8:7a:2e:40:65:b2:e9:e9 from 172.30.42.12:52391

Although the date is right:
# date
Mon Mar 24 22:05:20 GMT 2014

I tried running sysfixtime manually, or just run the 'date -s <unix-timestamp>' manually, with no luck.
Any idea how to get logread (or well the daemon/kernel) to update its timestamps?

Best regards,
