Hi
One of my server is having a clock sync problem. The Fedora server is sitting on a RH9 VMWare GSX host. Linux guest on a linux host has a known problem(is it?) of having the time being accelerated very quickly.
1. RH9 host clock is set to local time.
2. VMWare tools is NOT installed on the Fedora guest.
(VMWare tools clock sync does not work properly for a linux host and guest machines)
3. Acceleration has been disabled for Fedora guest.
4. Fedora guest /etc/sysconfig/clock:
ZONE="Asia/Singapore"
UTC=false
ARC=false
I have a cron job that runs every minute to update the time. The problem is between the 1 minute interval, the time will automaticaly change to 8 hrs. Both host and gust machines are set to local time(GMT8).
