random assignment, so I

Dear List,
I am experimenting with virtual machines (vmd) in recent OpenBSD
snapshots. Having gotten a few VMs working, I am eager to make many
more and also run them. I'm pleased to have an autoinstall process
running from a vmd instance.
However, when running more than 4 instances, I run into
Dear List,
I've recently learned (and discovered) that time in VM's is tricky
business. I'm looking for the least stupid way to keep any semblance of

I've disabled openntpd, installed ntp package (but
