Server time

I could be wrong but I think the server time is out by approx 1hr15 mins..
(if its New York/Boston timezone as I've always thought)
I think it might have been that way since the 18th.

Yes, you were correct.

I've fixed the time and set new pool servers in ntp.conf:

server 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
server 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org
server 2.north-america.pool.ntp.org
server 3.north-america.pool.ntp.org

Hopefully this remains closer in check.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think the time might be drifting again, I think it was ok up until
Friday or there abouts..
left hand side is from: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and right hand from yunix (date -u)
(so GMT for both so as not to worry about pesky dls)

I'm not overly stressed about it or anything - just still thought I'd mention.

There now seems to be a 6+ hour time difference between UTC times
..Just saying..

In my new found hatred of ntpd, I've disabled it and we're now running ntpdate in a cron script.
Lets see if that does any better.
