Good afternoon - see, I told you the time was out ;-) It's the system time that's an hour out - the hardware clock was set to the correct local time (I'd done this manually earlier). Here's what I've tried - stop ntpd and chkconfig it off used date -s to set correct local time used clock -w to write to hardware clock reboot (just in case !) date and clock now both report the correct local time start ntpd clock is still correct, but date has gone back an hour Confused !
