> hmmm - which HWCLOCK clock? > we are speaking about VMware Machines on ESXi/vSphere My best suggestion for you is to read the following document. www.vmware.com/files/pdf/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf and follow the best practises outlined there. You should have your linux guests setting so system time is in UTC not local time. I would suspect base on your symptoms you've got the wrong settings for the guest operating system. The issue here is long standing and predates systemd. You really do need to follow the best practise recommendations set forth by vmware when using their virtualization product. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
