I saw the same issue in my RHEL5 VM. I did synchronization using the vmware-toolbox command but still the VM time differs from ESX server. I saw the hwclock command provides the right time and its bcos of directly reading from CMOS is it? When I add the parameter clock=pit to grub.conf, hwclock returns a wrong value :( can someone explain the use of this param? Thanks, Krishnaprasad I was born free!

I haven't really looked at this problem for some time, maybe I should look again.
