dunno why, but ntpd may be able to correct it.
# yum install ntpd
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
# chkconfig ntpd on
# service ntpd start
all the conf file -needs- is a server line or two referencing some
local-to-you NTP servers. check with your ISP to see if they have any
if you're not already running your own.
