    This has little to do with ISPConfig but I know there are a lot of smart people around here.

    I have 2 ISPConfig server both running Debian etch setup with the perfect setup. One of them sets the time always one hour ahead.

    Timezone, systemtime, hardwareclock, .... No matter what I try, after some time he's always one hour ahead.

    The correct server:
    ho:~# date
    zo mrt 30 14:21:37 CEST 2008
    ho:~# hwclock --show
    zo 30 mrt 2008 14:21:54 CEST -0.158876 seconds


    The wrong server:
    lcl:~# date
    zo mrt 30 15:18:03 CEST 2008
    lcl:~# hwclock --show
    zo 30 mrt 2008 14:22:04 CEST -0.223452 seconds

    How can I fix this?

    Do you sync the time on the servers with ntp?

    I'm using ntp but whenever I check its status;

    # /etc/init.d/ntp status
    NTP server is not running.

    I can't find a reason for this behavior.

    However, even when ntp is running, somehow the system time is always ahead.

    Run
    Code:
    tzconfig
    and select the correct time zone (do this even if it already shows the correct time zone), then reboot the system.

    I already tried this but this didn't change anything.

    I could fix it by using this setting in my VMware settings:
    tools.syncTime = "False"

    Now ntpd is doing the job just fine.
