ntp needed? Also forum search suggestion

[littleears]

Hello.

I'm new to vps technology. Do I need to be concerned about time drift? Should I install ntp on my server?

Also, I have a suggestion for the forum: Allow searching of 3 character words. I wanted to see if anyone else has discussed this, but I guess 'ntp' is too short.

IIRC VPS time is set from the host. And we run ntp on the host. So you should be fine without ntp. If you do notice a problem (i.e. time drift) just pop in a support ticket and we'll do what we can to help.

3 characters would be the vbulletin search limit I'm afraid.
