Clock in a Linux Guest Runs More Slowly or Quickly Than Real Time... - Rexiology...: "As also provided in another VMWare KB talking about Timekeeping in VMWare Virtual Machine, it is also able to use VMWare Tools to sync guest OS time with host one. by installing VMWare Tools in Linux server, there will be a vmware-guestd running and by setting parameter 'tools.syncTime = TRUE' inside VMWare .vmx setting file, time will be sync.ed with host OS using VMWare Tools and will be not necessary to run ntpd or ntpdate in crontab to sync your time inside guest system, it will auto sync with host OS and it will now be only the host OS that needs to sync with world time server thus save the bandwith also the loading of outside time servers."
