I've been noticing that every time I access my server, the time is set to something wildly off. Even running a cron script to run ntpdate every day doesn't seem to help. I noticed that the time is significantly inaccurate (30 secs or so) after just a minute or two of leaving it alone. It seems to actually be ticking, but it must be amazingly slow.
It is probably important to point out that this is a VMWare virtual machine. I didn't really pay attention to how I set up time when I installed it, so I must've chosen the defaults (except that the server runs on local time). I think it might be an issue with the system clock: something might be screwing up and thus I would want to switch over to using a software timer (if possible).
I'm wondering what the issue might be, or how I might be able to stop using system time.
