Can you post the errors you are seeing? In general yes, you want to have
the servers and clients synchronized (although recent Kerberos releases
are more forgiving in this respect)

Is there a good way to do it?


we run a fully virtualized IdM environment on ESX. We did run in time 
synch problems after a server was rebooted for updates, the time was way 
out of sync.


Running ntpdate to synchronize to the ntp server on boot with the 
/etc/sysconfig/ntpdate config file was the solution for us. the iburst 
option in ntp.conf works if your clock skew is not greater than 300 
seconds, but then you do not have login problems either.

Did you used the --no-ntp option or freeipa? or did you use the internal
freeipa ntp?

Hi,

We use ESX5i, the IPA servers are VMs and run ntp from our main ntp server, 
clients time sync to the IPA servers.

The only time we see time problems is with clients that do absolutely no work, 
then their time sometimes drifts excessively, we set the ticker panic to zero 
to get around that.

If ppl have better ideas I'd be pleased to hear them.
