My machine isn't on vmware, it's a hardware box. I just power it off. Nevertheless, yesterday all the evening I hadn't internet access - thunderstorm has broken my wires. And guess what - ntpdate couldn't find ntp servers, but the system date was correct anyway. So I guess my issue has something to do with ntpdate. I didn't set any unusual flags, just ntpdate_enable="YES" and ntpdate_hosts="ntp.example.com". As the second invocation of ntpdate (by hand) always reported much offset which is less than a second, I think ntp servers (I tried two or three) is OK too. -- WBR, Victor V.
