[Tfug] ntpd problems - server losing an hour or more each day

[Brian Murphy]

Quoting Chad Woolley <thewoolleyman at gmail.com>:

> the time gets too far off, even though I pass the -g option.
>
> The strange thing is, this is a VMWare virtual server, and another

> does NOT have this problem.


Boot your guest VM with the clock=pit kernel parameter.
