Howdy,
I am having time-drift issues on my CentOS VM. I had referred to following documentation: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/VMWare_Server , however it didn't help. I used kickstart for creating this VM and I am listing important steps in ref to timekeeping issue. Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated.
You want to look at VMware's Best Practices for timekeeping. It says to use Linux's NTP, *not* VMware tools.
