<div class="im">I&#39;m not sure about Lenny/xen specific issues but the fact that machines</div>
coming up can have deltas large enough to stop ntpd from adjusting the<br>
clock is not uncommon, and normally you find people run ntpdate in<br>
whatever rc file starts up ntpd so that ntp is able to adjust the time<br>
from then on.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks Nigel. Note - ntpdate is happy to adjust this - but dovecot thinks this is bad and kills itself to prevent problems (<a href="http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards">http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards</a>). </div>
<div><br></div><div>This large time delta on boot is a big change from Debian Etch. </div><div><br></div><div>I am not running NTP - just ntpdate (cron - set clock once a day). Maybe I shouldn&#39;t.</div><div><br></div><div>
