I run Cent os 6 64 bit on linode.
server (incorrect):
date Thu Aug 29 11:41:00 BST 2013
client (correct):
date Thu Aug 29 11:37:25 BST 2013
As you can see the server clock is in the future.
so far I have ensured the server is running at GMT time, by doing
sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime
but no joy, and by installing NPT, which is suggested by Linode.
215 seconds seems like its not a GMT time issue, as I would expect that to be likes of multiples of 1 hour in future/past.
Any tips?
