Time jumping 1 hour ahead

[NickFritz]

My time keeps jumping 1 hour ahead even when i set it back to the right time, is there a timeserver setup or something in the defauly directadmin setup?

As far as I know, DA uses system time. You might have a Daylight Savings Time problem or an incorrect timezone file being used.

/etc/localtime controls timezone. It can be a symbolic link to the correct timezoone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo or you can copy the correct file from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime.

There are usually 2 available files per timezone. One which will adjust for DST and one that will not. Since DST changed at the end of October, this could be your problem.

Also make sure that there isn't a cronjob or startup script which is syncing the Operating time to your hardware clock, which by the way, you should confirm is also on the right time and timezone.
