Hi list,
- I've read and searched and read and searched all vmware docs and more...and
still, I take the liberty to ask this list. Its got a little to do with
SuSE10.2, so please forgive me...
- I'm running SLES10 as a host OS onto which I'm running a number of SuSE10.2s
using vmware server. My time in the quests is way off. I set it using
ntpdate -s on the clients. Then I initiate ntpd on the client. Or not, no
difference. The time in my clients lacks behing by several hours/day.
- I'm currently trying a real dirty hack...on the client I'm running a cronjob
every 10 minutes, doing a ntpdate -s -b IP-OF-TIMESERVER. I tried that hack
by running the cronjob every 30 minutes, - but that didn't work...
- any hints?
Have a look at http://www.ntp.org.
Or install package xntp / xntp-doc and read the documentation.
You want to use a pool of time servers (preferably in a region near your
machine), and then run the ntp service. ntpdate is the manual time sync
tool.
It is configurable though YaST (from SLP 9.3):
