What's the right way to keep the right time in guest domains? I'm
running NetBSD-3.0_BETA on an old dual Xeon box. I have ntpd running
in the privileged domain, but nothing time-related running in the
guest domains. The dom0 clock is correct and stays correct, but the
domU clocks all drift ahead -- they're currently 8 minutes fast after
about a month of uptime. Should I be running ntpd processes in each
of the guest domains that update from the dom0 ntpd? Or is there some
smarter way to do this?
Thanks,
