I've got a FC3 machine where the system clock ADVANCES at a rapid rate which screws up the services I have running.
your bios/hardwareclock runs normal time on your FC3 machine ???
Well here is the rub. The FC3 is actually a virtual server inside VMware GSX 3.1 running on a RHEL ES server. I tried to get help using VMware in the subject but noone seems to want to tackle THAT problem :(
I've tried to resolve this with VMware but in the end they couldn't help me as Fedora is not yet a supported OS.
The host server is rock solid steady in it's time from it's hardware clock and using NTP with the same source I am trying to get the virtual servers to update from.
A windows virtual server has no problems inside VMware, just the Fedora Core 2 and 3 servers :(
I was hoping there was a way I could cajole NTP to work better despite what is causing the virtual server clock to run too fast.
