Scenario: server PC abruptly switched off due to power cable problems
(an UPS cannot solve this issue), so during shutdown Linux was not
able to resinchronize the system clock. After a few hours the server
come back on, Linux booted and the services (ntpd, dovecot and many
others) started
But the system clock was 45 minutes ahead, so:
Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to LOCAL(0), stratum 10
Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: kernel time sync disabled 0041
Jan 19 11:14:43 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to 62.48.35.100, stratum 2
Jan 19 10:31:55 gw ntpd[2112]: time reset -3600.221385 s
Jan 19 10:31:55 gw ntpd[2112]: kernel time sync enabled 0001
Jan 19 10:31:55 gw dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 3600 seconds.
This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now.

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible.
Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is
only yourself.
