When setting the system clock way back, the hobbit client "stalls" and reports get purple. Maybe hobbitlaunch should verify the clock did not step back.
You'll have worse problems than simply hobbitlaunch stalling.
A lot of the Hobbit data collection is time-based; clocks jumping back causes all sorts of "interesting" things to happen with your RRD graphs and the history logs. Not to mention the alert-repeat mechanism.
Sure, I can fix the hobbitlaunch stalling (already have) and some other problems that will happen in parts of Hobbit when this occurs, but I cannot fix the data that has been stored with a wrong timestamp.
So having your server time-sync'ed with NTP to a known good clock is more or less a prerequisite for running Hobbit.
