I don't think this is good advice. Unless you manually read the hardware clock and write to the system clock using "hwclock", the system doesn't touch the hardware clock but once during bootup. I suspect messed up timezone settings. Could it be that the system and users are on different timezones? Do a "date" as root and as one or two different users and watch not only the time itself but also what it says about timezones.
