All:
We are having some serious clock issues with our new Intermapper server
running Debian Linux 3.1 as a VMWare guest on a Windows Host. I run the
ntpdate function and within seconds the time is already out of sync by
several minutes. This seems to be why I am getting a lot on unnecessary
alarms.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? An immediate response
would be greatly appreciated.
Not that it's much help, but we've run into the same thing, both with
Debian and a few other OSes running as VMware clients. On Debian, we
were losing 20 minutes every hour. Some clients are running
Intermapper, some not. Some OSes don't seem to have any timing
trouble as clients. I ended up putting ntpdate in an hourly cron job
for the problem clients to make sure that events such as builds
happened at roughly the right time.
Which is to say that I didn't spend much time on it, because precise
timing wasn't really necessary and I had other things to do, but I'd
be interested in the answer, too, if someone knows it.
