Hi,

   We have a Linux system running on VMWare that for some reason keeps
loosing the lock (the clock drifts quite a bit 30 seconds or more) and
then will re-lock. I've double checked the ntp.conf file, but don't
see any differences from our other Linux systems. Even when it's not
locked it can see the master:

# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay

Any ideas what I can check and why this might be occurring on a VM
Linux machine?

Thanks for any help!
