Server Time Off

[jhesch]

My server time is 2 minutes off but when I use the Server Time option in WHM I get the following returned

rdate: [rdate.darkorb.net] Thu Sep 2 07:45:32 2004

which is 2 minutes slow. Any idea what is up? Also, the darkorb reference worries me.

Thanks

John

I finally found this

ntpdate ntp1.cs.wisc.edu

which fixed the problem but I still can't figure out why WHM won't sync the proper time.

I believe darkorb.net is associated with cpanel. Just go to http://www.darkorb.net/ and you end up at the cpanel forums. It looks like their time server's clock is probably two minutes slow. Shame on them. You could run ntpd and sync with someone more reliable.

Actually, the NTP application pings time.serverbeach.com who then must use darkorb.net for their time.
