My organization has a cron job to monitor ntpd and make sure the time is still accurate, and there's some sophisticated logic there to minimize false positives, but it still throws a couple of valid alerts every week, (always on VMs.  The job runs everywhere, but...) and restart ntpd.  

I've had better luck with:

- recent VMware (I use Workstation 6.0)

- VMware tools installed

- edit your VMX file to contain

   tools.syncTime = "TRUE"
