Yes, that's right. But hwclock is often called on shutdown (if
configured) and grabs it's time from the machine it was started. I'm
not really, but 90%, sure thta ntpd can set the hardware clock too.
But back to the main problem: For paravitualized DomUs you MUST
configure yout ntpd's the described way. And I think, that full
virtualized DomUs can't access the hardware clock directly too. Please
correct me, if i'm wrong. Haven't setup that much full virtualized
Machines.
