Extract date ranged data from log file

Hi,

I am trying to extract lines of data within a log file on a Redhat 5 Linux system.

eg I need all the lines with a particular username over the last 3 minutes.

the log file may read like this, and I want a way to search all the lines extracting all the relevant lines over the last 3 minutes:

"Wed Dec 11 16:51:00 GMT 2013 username permissions"

Thanks in advance
