I guess it wouldn't be too difficult for one to determine which config'
change log entries corresponding wtih which syslog entries though for the
purpose of looking for proctor changed events, which was what I believe
Mohammed was looking for. There really shouldn't be that many logged events
during breaks / lunch etc anyway and all of the config' changes would be
logged with "PARSER" included in their lines / descriptions so a simple "*show
logg | include PARSER*" should suffice.
