We've had our 'time' problems with vmware for well over a year now (getting near 2 I should say). As mentioned initially the only solution we haven't tried is rebuilding the kernel, the only one we have found that does work is to use ntpdate via cron. I passed the problem to our people maintaining the ESX servers, and they contacted vmware about it (we have a support contract). They referred us to the PDF doc, but as we pointed out the solutions in it still didn't work. As might be expected, rebuilding the kernel was suggested :-) John. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 E-mail: John.Horne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: +44 (0)1752 587001 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
