Please see:

 http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf

...and look into .vmx config option called "tools.syncTime = true", or possibly 
"vmware-guestd --cmd 'vmx.set_option synctime 1 1'" in the guest VM.  VMWare 
sometimes seems to encourage people to run ntpd in guest VMs, but I think that 
is badly flawed advice.
