I had an experience a few months ago in which I was running a tor
client in a virtual machine. Because of the way I'd configured
vmware, the clock of the virtual machine drifted significantly. After
a while it was off by days --- the machine had been up about a month.
Anyhow, I noticed that tor wasn't working correctly in that it wasn't
making connections to entry guards. When I would restart the daemon,
I could tell that it was starting up connections, but after a while
these all died.
So, my question is, does tor depend explicitly or implicitly on time
synchronization? Perhaps via the published line in the
cached-routers list?
Did you check the log file(s)? There were most likely at least
several complaints issued by tor.
