Server time keeps resetting one hour early

[tibberous]

I have a server that runs CentOS / WHM. If I set the clock using the date command, within a few hours it will go back one hour. I am guessing that this is due to a problem with daylight savings time. I would think that there would be a way to turn off automatic clock adjusting, but neither myself of the server company can seem to figure out the problem.

 

Any ideas?

I would recommend installing ntp, and syncing time from a server.

For ubuntu, debian go:

 

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Run the date command from the shell. Does it say the right timezone?

 

If it is, try doing a "hwclock --systohc" after you set the time. That will sync the OS clock to the hardware clock.
