Apparently we had a leap second added a few days ago and it broke Java enough that Minecraft server doesn't work anymore. Annoying.
-
@gomerx I wonder if that's what borked my server's time. ntpd doesn't seem to be working right anymore.
-
Odd. A second shouldn't do it. Stop ntpd and run 'ntpdate <ntp.server.address>' and it should correct your time, then restart ntpd.
-
Ntpd will stop updating the time if it's too far off, but I thought it needed to be off by a lot.
-
@gomerx it was off by 10 minutes yesterday. I did ntpdate, then it was already off by 3 min again today. Now I have cronjob for ntpdate.
-
Something is wrong then. Once you do ntpdate, ntpd should keep time up to date. Something is sweking your time faster than ntpd can fix it

@gomerx yeah, it's messed up. Losing 10 seconds every half hour. Don't really know where to begin with this.
-
Battery could be bad, but that should only affect time at boot. Maybe a BIOS update if their is one. At least your solution is working.

I warned you about the #leapsecond http://identi.ca/url/72621200

Oh. No clue with a Mac. I've seen lots of screwy hardware failures with those things. Hopefully a reboot will help.
