There is an important point - a cheap vserver form an ISP who doen't care about ntpd after asking him four times.... (and then he set the time 2 times manualy...) arrrhhhh.... > > It should be possibel to use the time independent form a > > manipulation of the ISP.... > > you can, just install a time deamon which is system > independant How can I do this, so that every normal program (postfix, yaws...) get the time form my deamon? > or add another layer of virtualization > if you do not care about the overhead I do not think that I can do this as normal vsersver-user.... > but IMHO, the real solution to your issues is to > kindly ask the ISP to start an ntpd on the host (or > on a special time guest) to synchronize that I know this, I tried this and it's faild. The ISP told me two times that they have installed ntpd but they correct the time only once... arrrggghhh... Ok, how can I run as normal vserver-user (be root on my vserver) an own time daemon? You don't mean ntpd or chrony who whant to set the time of the kernel?
