Well, one would start by reading and understanding the relevant source: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/blob/master/qubes-rpc/qubes.SetDateTime https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/blob/master/qubes-rpc/qubes.SyncNtpClock https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-agent-linux/blob/master/qubes-rpc/sync-ntp-clock > The "ClockVM" does not seem to be operating the way I would have thought a > "ClockVM" would. Only the ClockVM to uses NTP at all, and it sends the time back to dom0. The rest of the VMs get their time set by dom0 via qubes.SetDateTime service. There are many reasons for this, including eliminating redundant network traffic, and the fact that it is desirable for time to be correct in all VMs (including those intentionally without any network access). > Is there a bug in it? Lets see... https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20ntp https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20clockvm doesn't look like it! > Sincerely, > Drew.
