First, thank you for the answer about switching from straight bridge to =
using a tap device =85 that made a *huge* difference =85 I'm not able to =
actually run a build world within the environment without having the =
whole machine lock up =85

So, went next step =85 now that I can successfully build, I added the =
Guest Additions =85 from what I've read, its what is required in order =
to get time sync to work between host and guest =85 but doesn't quite =
seem to do it:

# ssh ams "(uptime; date)" ; date
 1:55AM  up 1 day, 20:30, 0 users, load averages: 0.05, 0.07, 0.08
Sun May 26 01:55:16 ADT 2013
Sun May 26 04:57:57 UTC 2013

kldstat shows the vboxguest.ko module has been loaded =85 I have ntpd =
disabled, so I don't believe I'm *supposed* to need it, correct?  =20

Are there known issues with this, or have I missed a setting somewhere?  =
 Or should I actually need ntpd to be running even with the Guest =
additions?

Thanks =85
