Date and time

System events registered by Wheel Fudo PAM (sessions, system log events, etc.) are timestamped. Wheel Fudo PAM can obtain the time information either from an NTP server or the system clock.

Warning

It is strongly advised for the date and time settings to be obtained from a reliable NTP server. Changing date and time settings manually may result in system malfunction.
