For the first hour of uptime, the clock is counterclockwise. After that, begins to clockwise. This problem is reflected to nick sqline, gline, ircd/services link:
I've found a solution: disable set::timesynch::
The problem arise when set::timesynch::enabled is enabled and no matter what the IPs are, any IP I configure, the IRCd set clock with offset -3567:
The offset of approximately 3600 seconds (one hour) suggests to me the clock on your server has NOT been set correctly. For example the clock has been set to "local time" for someone with a time zone one hour different from the time zone the server has been set to use. The solution is A) set the time zone correctly (not sure how) B) set the time correctly, C) run an NTP client to synchronize the servers clock correctly.
The problem arises because the Xen VPS host has -1hr than OS Guest. Unfortunately I can't set clock on Xen so I'll configure set::timesynch:: disabled.
As mentioned previously, it seems either your time zone is incorrect or the clock (which is just a matter of perspective ;p).
Disabling timesync and enabling ntp, or not using either one, does not fix anything.
Bottom line is: your GMT/UTC time is incorrect, which is used extensively in the IRC protocol and internally by the IRCd (and services).
You can see this if you do '/TSCTL ALLTIME' on your network, you will see the clock of this server is off.
Also, if you type 'date' on the shell, pay attention to both the time & the timezone, then you'll see it is not correct.
If you can't change the host, and can't change the clock, then why not change the timezone on the guest?
Change it to a zone which is 1 hour less than you currently have.
For example: if you now use Eatern Time (=UTC-5), then instead use Central Time (=UTC-6).
Or contact the hoster, of course, as this should be something they should be(come) aware of.
As mentioned on the first post, the time on the VPS was set correctly (with ntpd). Seems that some Xen versions have problem with squeeze 64bit.
After contacted my hoster and configured independent_wallclock with
