Re: [Xen-devel] domU clock over 23s off

that was my default setup I started with, until yesterday I realized that the
domUs don't keep the time in sync.  dom0 (FC4) is perfectly in sync running 
ntp. 

the domUs run ntp too, but there they don't manage to set/adjust the system 
time,
so the ntp on domU logs the time skew.  from syslog of a RH9 client:

Jun 26 20:08:25 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +12.532031 s
Jun 26 20:24:51 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +12.597371 s

Jun 27 20:22:37 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +19.640442 s
Jun 27 20:37:47 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +19.718607 s
Jun 27 20:55:09 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +19.769548 s
Jun 27 21:13:31 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +19.865546 s
Jun 27 21:30:49 os-rh9 ntpd[1666]: time reset +19.965029 s


does running ntp in a domU disable the clock synchronisation between dom0 and 
domU ?
