NTP is not supposed to be running on your vm's.  Instead, you leverage
vmware tools and use the vmware-toolbox to enable time synchronization

boot parameter.

Just to follow up, my VM was running all night long and was less than a minute behind this morning. Not as good as running NTP, but definitely better than losing 45 seconds every minute. I think the key was to enable time synchronization between the guest and the host, which for some reason was not enabled by default.

Thanks again for all the help,
Alfred
