> [...] Could the fact that Ubuntu is running in VMWare Server be a problem? Yes. Very much so. Install the VMWare tools and let the virtual machine host control the passage of time on the clients. Only run NTP on the host machine. There's a whitepaper somewhere. It boils down to 'Virtual machines are not suited to real-time software. Let the host control time, it will do a better job.' Time synchronisation in the clients is off by default, and they _will_ drift. I have two old Linux machines now virtualised, both without VMWare tools installed. With adjtimex I managed to get one below 1PPM and it now steps half a second each week; for the other one (kernel 2.0) I didn't find or compile an adjtimex yet and it steps 2.5 seconds each day.
