SOPHOS UTM 9.503-4 Home - gaining time

If I do this from the CLI the firewall restarts.

/var/mdw/scripts/ntp stop
ntpdate 209.87.233.53
/var/mdw/scripts/ntp start

Hi, Michael, and welcome to the UTM Community!

As I bet you've already concluded, the problem is not the UTM.

Cheers - Bob

I am 90% there - still waiting to get a definitive from Zotac. They told me to reset CMOS but it was cleared when I got it. I will bring down firewall and do it again but I doubt it will fix it.

NTP doesn't seem to be working on my system. If I go it from CLI it works. How often is it supposed to automatically update?

Replaced the Zotac - same issue. Ran Lubuntu from USB - time is fine. Run Sophos from hard drive and time is messed up.

So it looks like Sophos to me.

Here is my output for comparison

Real time clock and a bootable Lubuntu both kept correct time. Seems to be the OS (Sophos UTM) after all. Don't know how to go about fixing it. Seems I may have to try Sophos XG.

Is your virtual macine configured to force time sync on to guest systems?   I have seen time sync issues when time is being set by both normal (s)ntp time sync and "hardware" (host system) time sync.

But if your time is jumping by an hour, I would also look for a problem with daylight savings settings or time zone problems between guest and host.
