I remember, I think it was a few weeks ago, that there was some discussion of an issue between VMware and ntp on the guest o/s's, but I don't remember what it was. Could someone enlighten me? We're talking about re-enabling ntpd on our Linux VMs.

I think, the discussion you want was 2 months ago.

Thanks, but while googling at work, I found it - the problem of losing or
gaining time while running under VMware. Actually, what I also found was in
VMware's knowledgebase, which has a page for "Best timekeeping practices for
Linux", and says, in so many words, that they recommend using NTP and *not*
VMware's time synchronization. They do mention two kernel parms that need to be
added to the grub.conf, and that you need to add, as the first line in the
ntp.conf,
tinker panic 0
I think that's in the right order - I'm at home, and don't have the bookmarks.
But I'd recommend looking up that page, if anyone needs to know.
