Linux server time getting out of sync frequently.

[Krishnaprasad_K at Dell.com]

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,

Linux!

Okay, thanks for that, but yes, we already have those specified. I
haven't really looked at this problem for some time, maybe I should look
again.
