10828,VBoxService --disable-timesync broken,jacksar,,"When I set time a lot into future (an hour or more) (by using as root: ""date -s ""AUG 25 2012 16:00:00"") the clock will be reset to the host time after 5 seconds.

As advised here https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2928 I run ""/usr/sbin/VBoxService --help"" and ""sudo /usr/sbin/VBoxService --disable-timesync"".

It didn't disable time sync for me on with Ubuntu 12.04 (Virtual Box 4.1.12_Ubuntu: 77245). It didn't disable time sync for someone else on Windows back in 2010 (https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=8535#p129883).

However, ""sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd-service stop"" disables time sync and it works as expected (time will not get set back to host time).
