Paul,<br>
To set the system clock to the hardware clock<br>
hwclock --hctosys<br>
Other way around:<br>
hwclock --systohc<br>
You should be able to check the hardware clock by issuing:<br>
hwclock<br>
That will give you an idea of how far off the hardware clock is. If it is skewed far enough, you will probably want to go in to the bios on a reboot and update it. If it does not stick past power outages, you might want to replace the cmos battery on the motherboard.<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
