FreeBSD VMWare TimeDrift

FreeBSD's Clock will drift out of sync very rapidly when it is run as a guest OS on VMWare.

To resolve this issue do the following:

edit /boot/loader.conf and add this line

kern.hz="100"

Reboot the VM and set the date. The clock should stay roughly in sync.

You can also edit the Guest VM's .vmx file and setting this value:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
