after all, how far can clocks drift in a single day!?
Well, having run a Linux kernel on OpenBSD's vmm: they can drift more than a single day in that time. I did have to resort to using an ntpdate cron job because ntpd just couldn't cope with the time dilation effect. The cron job was configured at * * * * * (i.e. every minute), which roughly translated to once every 180 wall-clock seconds (+/- 30s).
