Jeroen,
Thank you. It did that but I can't see a change.
NTP adjusts slowly, as your clock is 6+ hours off, you should force the timesync first, eg with with rdate (apt-get install rdate):
rdate -v ntp.xs4all.nl
should do the trick. Then after that make sure that ntpd is running: /etc/init.d/ntp restart
The VPS person said it is set to UTC. Previously on another VPS it was another relay in the ?circuit which had the time difference.
UTC is a timezone, and having that is great as it avoids all the pitfalls and annoyances with summer/winter time.
Note that some VPSs do not allow changing of the time, one will have to ask the host to set the time.
Do note that a VPS can be inspected and controlled easily by the Host, as such, make sure that you trust that operator.
Greets, Jeroen
