A VMware setup isn't really any different than any other server if you don't use the vmware time sync. To answer your question, though, here are the relevant lines from one of my Ubuntu VMware instances: driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ server local.ntp.server.com restrict default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify Edit the "server" line to suit your environment. -Erik
