You may use ntpd in your host OS instead. If you still wish to use ntpd in guest OS you should disable time sync by the VirtualBox Additions - add extra lines in your in /etc/rc.conf: vboxservice_flags="--disable-timesync" vboxservice_ignore_ntpd="YES" +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This should fix the problems like Apr 17 13:37:55 devel ntpd[757]: time reset -0.886552 s Apr 17 13:54:01 devel ntpd[757]: time reset -0.968916 s Apr 17 14:10:15 devel ntpd[757]: time reset -0.935790 s Apr 17 14:26:29 devel ntpd[757]: time reset -0.982373 s Apr 17 15:02:07 devel ntpd[757]: time reset -0.940596 s Apr 17 15:02:16 devel ntpd[757]: time correction of -1200 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); set clock manually to the correct UTC time. if host OS time is not synchronized properly. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: diff -ruN virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/Makefile virtualbox-ose-additions/Makefile --- virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/Makefile 2011-01-31 23:06:45.000000000 +0000 +++ virtualbox-ose-additions/Makefile 2011-04-19 21:57:57.000000000 +0000 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ PORTNAME= virtualbox-ose DISTVERSION= 3.2.12 -PORTREVISION= 1 +PORTREVISION= 2 CATEGORIES= emulators kld MASTER_SITES= http://tmp.chruetertee.ch/ \ http://freebsd.unixfreunde.de/sources/ \ @@ -177,4 +177,7 @@ ${PREFIX}/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ .endif +post-install: + @${CAT} ${PKGMESSAGE} + .include <bsd.port.post.mk> diff -ruN virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/files/vboxservice.in virtualbox-ose-additions/files/vboxservice.in --- virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/files/vboxservice.in 2011-01-31 23:06:45.000000000 +0000 +++ virtualbox-ose-additions/files/vboxservice.in 2011-04-19 21:43:06.000000000 +0000 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ # $FreeBSD: ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions/files/vboxservice.in,v 1.1 2011/01/31 23:06:45 decke Exp $ # PROVIDE: vboxservice -# REQUIRE: DAEMON vboxguest +# REQUIRE: DAEMON vboxguest ntpdate ntpd # BEFORE: LOGIN # KEYWORD: shutdown @@ -11,16 +11,36 @@ # # vboxservice_enable (bool): Set to "NO" by default. # Set it to "YES" to enable VBoxService. +# +# vboxservice_ignore_ntpd (bool): Set to "NO" by default. +# Set it to "YES" to allow VBoxService start +# with ntpd running . /etc/rc.subr name="vboxservice" rcvar=`set_rcvar` command="%%PREFIX%%/sbin/VBoxService" +start_precmd="vboxservice_prestart" load_rc_config $name : ${vboxservice_enable="NO"} : ${vboxservice_flags=""} +: ${vboxservice_ignore_ntpd="NO"} +: ${ntpd_enable="NO"} +: ${ntpdate_enable="NO"} + +vboxservice_prestart() +{ + if checkyesno ntpd_enable || checkyesno ntpdate_enable; then + if checkyesno vboxservice_ignore_ntpd; then + return 0 + else + err 1 "To prevent time source conflict, ntpd(8) and \ +ntpdate(8) must be disabled in rc.conf while VirtualBox Additions are in use." + fi + fi +} run_rc_command "$1" diff -ruN virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/pkg-message virtualbox-ose-additions/pkg-message --- virtualbox-ose-additions.bak/pkg-message 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 +0000 +++ virtualbox-ose-additions/pkg-message 2011-04-19 22:18:41.000000000 +0000 @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +To run VirtualBox Additions from startup, add the following in /etc/rc.conf: + + vboxguest_enable="YES" + vboxservice_enable="YES" + +To prevent time source conflict, both ntpd(8) and ntpdate(8) must be disabled +in rc.conf while VirtualBox Additions are in use.
