Is server time sync via NTP standard?
So I wonder how much time offset do you guys find normal? ATM one of my hosting providers runs 110 seconds too slow, this really mess up anything I do cross servers since date stamps are all wrong.
This is the situation on the containered server
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -p 2 -q pool.ntp.org |tail -n1
19 Apr 07:10:04 ntpdate[8892]: step time server xx.xx.xx.xx offset 109.458037 sec
For reference this is from three random servers from different providers I sync these KVMs with NTP myself and it works ok, also included home desktop.
offset 0.000207 sec
offset -0.000652 sec
offset -0.001709 sec
offset 0.000010 sec (home)

On openvz it must be done as it affect all containers
@emj contact the provider and inform to load ntp in host or sync ntpd. Sure they will do
