Hi there,

I am running an exit node on a VPS. For some reason (I've opened a support ticket) a) my systems clock is off by 2 hours (even though its hosted in CEST land) and b) I cannot change it, even though I am root. 

As a result, I am getting recurring skewed time errors as below:


Accounting (awake)                 Time to reset: 29:12:02:58
  21 GB / 1 PB                       22 GB / 1 PB

Events (TOR/ARM NOTICE - ERR):
 │ 12:25:39 [WARN] Received directory with skewed time (server '86.59.21.38:80'): It seems that our clock is ahead by 2 hours, 3 minutes, or that theirs is behind. Tor requires an accurate clock to work: please check your time, timezone, and date settings.
 │ 12:25:03 [WARN] Received NETINFO cell with skewed time from server at 76.73.17.194:9090.  It seems that our clock is ahead by 2 hours, 3 minutes, or that theirs is behind. Tor requires an accurate clock to work: please check your time and date settings.

I haven't found any mention in the archives of this (except [1] which is NOT the same, just mentions wrong time), if it results in issues to the network overall.

Until I can get it resolved (today hopefully) is there any negative affects on the network of having a node with bad time?

thanks,
Bernard
