Marton, You'll probably want to add clock=pit as a kernel command line option. The VMware timekeeping whitepaper:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf has more details. You can also use the VMware tools to sync the guest time to the host rather than running ntp. When enabled, the tools will sync the guest time every 60 seconds. The VMware community forums has more information that might help, too.

Actually I *don't* want to *understand* why it may think it's better for me not having clock sync at all than to sync to a "relatively unreliable" server. I just want it to do anything it can to keep sync as much as possible. I'm running a FC3 in a VMWare, and its clock gains huge times a day (>1hr). I don't have the time or intent to track down why it behaves like that, I just want it to remain within reasonable bounds without much fiddling. Any tips, which don't require me to dig deeper into ntpd internals and algorithms than I have so far? thanks mortee ntpd [EMAIL PROTECTED] ntpq> as ind assID status conf reach auth condition last_event cnt =========================================================== 1 14884 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 2 14885 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 3 14886 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 4 14887 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 5 14888 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 6 14889 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 7 14890 9014 yes yes none reject reachable 1 ntpq> pe remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================ == LOCAL(0) .. 50 l 10 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.061 gerzson.home 216.165.129.244 2 u 2 64 377 2.896 -68538. 57390.4 ubul.kfki.hu 148.6.0.36 2 u 5 64 377 17.843 -68485. 55842.6 adm.active24.cz 192.53.103.108 2 u 2 64 377 36.123 -4423.5 57625.6 bus2.isp.contac 212.65.193.203 4 u 4 64 377 26.042 16366.1 73100.6 ntp1.inrim.it .UTCI. 1 u - 64 377 8.848 -57270. 50913.9 nostromo.textdr 132.163.4.102 2 u 1 64 377 8.418 20270.2 76393.4 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
