Hi there,
I got a daily cron (rdate to local time server) job wich adjusts time and
which constantly gives me headache.
Every day my dovecot suicides with:
"dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 11 seconds. This might cause a
lot of
problems, so I'll just kill myself now."
Of course my onboard clock is constantly off by more than 5 secs.
I don't want
to abandon time synchronization and I want to use dovecot. Maybe a
-HUP signal would do? What do you propose?
If your hardware isn't on the verge of a total nervous breakdown - are
you currently on a UPS? Bad power could lead to that kind of clock loss.
And I'd suggest switching to ntpd instead of a daily cron - lot less
maintenance headaches.
