<div>Sorry Andy, you must get fed up with rather naive questions here. Havi=
ng had Dovecot problems before with jumps in time knocking dovecot over, I =
wanted to make sure everything was going OK with time. Obviously on my Debi=
an box at home, I make sure hardware clock is synched. But even more obviou=
sly several VPS on a single machine could not keep fiddling with a hardware=
clock. The result would be like my mind - complete and utter chaos.</div>
<div>=A0</div><div>ntpd is working perfectly as running ntpq -p showed, and=
it is talking to the proper servers. Thanks so much for the rapid reply an=
d I apologise for the simplistic question - put it down to the fact that I =
reached 63 this week.</div>

</div>Have you actually checked that ntpd is not running? The reason I ask<=
br>
is that this is not a message output by ntpd but from hwclock, and<br>
is harmless. VPSes don't have hardware clocks.<br>

</div>If ntpd really is not running (run ntpq -p), please show us your<br>
/etc/ntp.conf. I have had no issues with ntpd on squeeze.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
