Keeping DATE setting constant in FreeBSD 7.0
Hello all,
I am using FreeBSD 7.0 on VMware. I am facing a serious issue. The date on my FreeBSD server is changing continuously i.e. the clock is running slow and is not able to match the clock of my host (Windows machine). I guess it has something to do with NTP server setting or may be UTC clock setting but I am not sure.
My only requirement is that I want to keep my clock constant according to my timezone (IST/India)
NB: there are a number of gotchas when running a vmware FBSD guest under a Windows host. Do not query someone's ntp server constantly to solve this problem.
In your case, you'll need to add the following entries to /boot/loader.conf:
Code:
kern.hz=100
hint.apic.0.disabled=1
Also be sure your timezone is set properly (with tzsetup).
