Here's a question: run hwclock, then, when you reboot, go into the BIOS, and see what the time is.

Thanks Mark. "hwclock" showed the right time before reboot. After reboot, entering BIOS it still showed the correct local time. After the server came up, "date" is slow by 5 hours.

Hmmm... and the BIOS doesn't have something that says use GMT? If not, sounds like there's a configuration file *somewhere* that's saying use GMT.

I'm out of here for the day. See if something comes to mind tonight....

Nope, no timezone configuration options at all. Like I said, very strange. Usually time just "works" on a box.

Thanks for the help
