My experience with virtualization has been that it is best to run ntpd on the host, and then use the time synchronization feature(s) from the VM product's helper tools inside the VM. Running ntpd inside the VM has always given me some strange results, probably because of timer interrupts being translated (i.e. potentially lost or delayed). VMs are often paused for backups, snapshots or migrations. ntpd wasn't designed to handle any of those those situations, it was designed to run on bare hardware. The VM helper tools from VMware, Microsoft, Xen, whatever, just pass time-related system calls straight through to the host, I think. -- RPM _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
