Haha, Jacquline's got a point there. Maybe they should just use 'Swatch Internet Time' to keep it really simple. That way, we can all just show up to the exam in our bathing suits and not worry about time zones at all!

B all the way, baby! Synchronizing to a common time source is the key. Although, I do wonder if the time source should be in Greenwich Mean Time or Zulu time... Decisions, decisions.

Hmm, I was leaning towards D at first, but then I realized that the physical location doesn't really matter if the timestamps are all over the place. B is definitely the best option to ensure proper log correlation.

I agree, B is the way to go. Trying to keep track of time zones for every system would just give me a headache. Plus, what if one of the systems is off by a few minutes? Total chaos.

I see both points, but I think option C is also important. Having the username in the logs can help track down any suspicious activity.

B) Logs should be synchronized to a common, predefined time source seems like the obvious choice here. How else are you going to correlate events across different systems? Trying to match up local time zones would be a nightmare.
