Time is critical on servers... you need to fix this. Are you running ntp client (NOT ntpdate)? Is this running in a virtual machine.
If running in a virtual machine, say KVM, what do you propose to do about the time issue?
Anders.
On a side note: There are not such problems when using OS virtualisation (as in Linux-VServer1, for example) - run an ntpd on the 'host' and have the same time in all guests. It also has very little overhead. So if it's an option to use OS virtualisation instead of "real virtualisation", maybe you can save yourself the hassle with time jumping backwards.
