Time sync of a linux virtual machine on an ESX host

It took me a while to find this following information, maybe it is of use to someone out there.
If you have installed the VMware-tools on your linux box but don't have X you can't use 'vmware-toolbox'. However you can turn on synchronisation with:

> vmware-guestd --cmd "vmx.set_option synctime 0 1"

You can (and should) turn off ntpd if you do this.
