I have a Dovecot installation on a Fedora 4.
With the last update from Dovecot RC10 to Dovecot RC27, the daemon kills
itself every night with this error:
Mar 17 05:23:11 mail dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 6 seconds.
This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill m
yself now.
The error appears just after the night maintenance script executes a
ntpdate syncronization
ntpdate is version [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Well, 6 seconds are little more than a blink in human perspective, even
if it is a long time for a computer point of view. Couldn't be possible
to add a configuration option to avoid the suicide?
Any other option other than suicide is better, because there could be
situations of really unattended servers.
Ciao,

You could probably patch ioloop.c to accept more than 5 seconds of
adjustment and then recompile. According to the commit[1] it seems
IOLOOP_MAX_TIME_BACKWARDS_SLEEP determines a time limit in seconds, in
which dovecot will hang waiting for time to get back to at least what is
was (assuring that nothing is done "in the past".)
