My NTP is working any ideas?Huh

Try setting the clock in BIOS and system UTC + 0

I don't like that this is necessary. Flameruk, can you tell me what operating system you were using, what time zone you had your BIOS set to, and what time zone your OS was set to? I think I need to change the code that I use in p2pool's code when determining UTC time, and I'd like to be able to reproduce your issue.
Hi Jtoomim.

The Bios was almost surely set at current time and GMT 0, London.
I generally set this when provisioning a server.
I could verify but need to get to my offices as its racked up in the server room.
If you really need to know ill down the box tomorrow, get a console on it and find out for you. Its no issue really.

Im running Centos 7 without a GUI.
I had the timezone as GMT , we are currently in British Summer Time so we ride +1 in front.
I used timedatectl and changed the time zone to UTC then the errors went away immediately.

Ive also noticed after running for a few hours now :-

1) Without tempting fate, my number of Orphans and Dead Shares is way lower.
2) My DOA is about the same.
3) My traffic rate graph seems to be not so volatile and kind of peaks smoothly and not "spikey" if you get where im coming from.
4) My BGBT Latency is lower and seems smoother.
5) Im now using 1.2M of RAM, where the previous node (other fork) would NEVER use more than 800 Mb. Ive made no changes to Centos or the Hardware.

So far so good. Hope the info is useful.
Now we just need some blocks.
