How to configure ntp client on AIX 5.3
I have found it on the IBM website: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1000653
PS: After configured it takes some time ( around 3-5 minutes ) to synchronize the time, so don’t worry it will work.
On client
1. Verify that you have a server suitable for synchronization. Enter:
# ntpdate -d ip.address.of.server
The offset must be less than 1000 seconds for xntpd to synch. If the offset is greater than 1000 seconds, change the time manually on the client and run the ntpdate -d again.
If you get the message, “no server suitable for synchronization found”, verify xntpd is running on the server (see above) and that no firewalls are blocking port 123.
2. Specify your xntp server in /etc/ntp.conf, enter:
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
(Comment out the “broadcastclient” line and add server ip.address.of.server prefer.)
Leave the driftfile and tracefile at their defaults.
3. Start the xntpd daemon:
# startsrc -s xntpd
(Use the -x flag if it is appropriate for your environment.)
4. Uncomment xntpd from /etc/rc.tcpip so it will start on a reboot.
# vi /etc/rc.tcpip
Uncomment the following line:
start /usr/sbin/xntpd “$src_running”
If using the -x flag, add “-x” to the end of the line. You must include the quotes around the -x.
5. Verify that the client is synched.
# lssrc -ls xntpd
NOTE: Sys peer should display the IP address or name of your xntp server. This process may take up to 12 minutes.

1. Install Vmware tools and check off the option regarding time synchronization with host machine.
2. Change kernel parameters according to your Linux version. See link below.
Finally VMware has written an article about vmware, oracle enterprise Linux and other distros.

301 moved permanently subversion
I can see my repository in a web browser, but ‘svn checkout’ gives me an error about “301 Moved Permanently”. What’s wrong?
It means your httpd.conf is misconfigured. Usually this error happens when you’ve defined the Subversion virtual “location” to exist within two different scopes at the same time.
For example, if you’ve exported a repository as , but you’ve also set your DocumentRoot to be /www, then you’re in trouble. When the request comes in for /www/foo/bar, apache doesn’t know whether to find a real file named /foo/bar within your DocumentRoot, or whether to ask mod_dav_svn to fetch a file /bar from the /www/foo repository. Usually the former case wins, and hence the “Moved Permanently” error.
The solution is to make sure your repository does not overlap or live within any areas already exported as normal web shares.
It’s also possible that you have an object in the web root which has the same name as your repository URL. For example, imagine your web server’s document root is /var/www and your Subversion repository is located at /home/svn/repo. You then configure Apache to serve the repository at http://localhost/myrepo. If you then create the directory /var/www/myrepo/ this will cause a 301 error to occur.
