Have just installed Squeeze on a vps (twice! had problems first time round)
Everything looks good and is ready for me to start installing the web sites
etc, but I can't get ntpd running as I get the message in the subject. I
have tried running hwclock --debug, but get the same response. Any
suggestions on what I should try next please? It was an easy job -
following Andy's wiki article and youtube vdo, except for this one issue

Have you actually checked that ntpd is not running? The reason I ask
is that this is not a message output by ntpd but from hwclock, and
is harmless. VPSes don't have hardware clocks.
I have tried running hwclock --debug, but get the same
response. Any
suggestions on what I should try next please?
If ntpd really is not running (run ntpq -p), please show us your
/etc/ntp.conf. I have had no issues with ntpd on squeeze.
Cheers,
Andy

Sorry Andy, you must get fed up with rather naive questions here. Having
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
Debian box at home, I make sure hardware clock is synched. But even more
obviously 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.
ntpd is working perfectly as running ntpq -p showed, and it is talking to
the proper servers. Thanks so much for the rapid reply and I apologise for
the simplistic question - put it down to the fact that I reached 63 this
week.
