Unless your hardware is broken, it shouldn't need to ask what the time is every minute just to manage decent timekeeping accuracy. Admittedly, running on a VM often resembles running on real hardware with a broken clock, but to me that in turn means one should be running ntpd in the hypervisor so that it is managing a real HW clock and let the VMs inherit time from the hypervisor / Dom0 / etc. Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
