Time sync problem in Arch Linux WM

I've got Arch Linux as WM with Parallels Tools installed and "Time: Sync from Mac OS" set in WM's settings menu.
The time is syncing when WM boots, but it's not when WM wakes up after suspending.
Is there any way to sync it every time WM is wakes up?
 
Same problem here running Fedora 16 under Parallels 8. The problem started when I upgraded from Parallels 7 to 8. Every time I wake from sleep I have to go into the Fedora system settings and reactivate the network time sync which has been turned off.
 
Okay, Fedora 16 disables network time every time after waking up and apparently ignores the "Sync from OS X" option in Parallels. However, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as a VM is okay and keeps time accurately. I wouldn't really care about this all that much except that compiling shared files under Fedora causes lots of messages like this to spew:


make[1]: Warning: File `blort.C' has modification time 141119 s in the future
 
I think I found a fix to this. First I made sure Parallels Tools were totally updated withing FC 16. Then I installed ``crony'' via yum:

% sudo yum install -y chrony

I tested putting the macbook pro asleep for 20 minutes, and when I woke it the FC 16 VM promptly updated its time.
