date -s only sets the OS's idea of the current time; it does not set the
hardware clock. When the OS boots up, it grabs the current time from the
hardware clock. Under RedHat 6.1, which is what I assume you're running,
you can set the hardware clock using the /sbin/hwclock command; man hwclock
for more information.
