Just something wierd i have noticed and frankly with my knowledge of PIX firewalls, i still dont know why it happens:

If you logon to a PIX and do an enable then a show conf
You get the config file and the last time it was updated.

If you logon to the same PIX do an enable and then a show VER
It shows you the details, but then it says last edited by you (you just logged on) and it shows the date/time form about 5 seconds ago, even though you didnt edit anything.

Anyone know why this is?

I logged in to two different Pix units, and was able to reproduce what you're observing on one of them.
One major difference I know is that one has aaa, the other one doesn't. I also suspect this to be some sort of bug in Pix, at least I hope that's the case cause when I did show version, one of them actually shows the login of an employee who no longer works here...
