Clock wrong on host atlanta37(?)

I'm on the atlanta37 server and the clock is 26 seconds too slow. Is the clock not configured properly on that host or is it my server somehow? I thought the server's clock used the host's clock automatically..?

It's 66 seconds too slow on my other linode on host atlanta36.

This would probably have been better as a support ticket. We don't monitor the forums for this kind of stuff.

Anyhow, the clock is within tolerances - offset -0.007023 sec.

If you're running a paravirt-ops kernel (> 2.6.18 ) then you need to run ntpd.

Thanks for your help. I'm running a paravirt kernel and have now installed an ntpd. The reason I didn't create a ticket was because I thought that anyone could answer my question and that I didn't need to bother staff with it. If someone else confirmed a problem with the host and no one from staff would've commented on the forum, I'd have tried with a support ticket.
