Bizarre Time Fix For Domino Linux/Unix
Category IBM/Lotus Domino
For some time, there has been a persistent time shift on some of our Domino servers: specifically, the Linux and Unix systems. I've always been a bit suspicious of the NTP configuration, or the internal NTP server. But, because it's a slow shift, it hasn't really been an issue. Of course, the Unix admins have been a little suspicious of me (or, at least, of Domino) !!
IBM has a Technote on this issue of "time creep" for Domino on the Unix/Linux platform, which settles the dispute. It's the fault of Domino, and not the host OS.
The weird part is how to "adjust" the Domino clock. Using the Lotus Administrator client, select "File/Mobile/Edit Current Time & Phone," and choose "OK." I'm sure I haven't touched that setting during this century.
Guess I owe a cup of coffee to the Unix admins.
