If it were the other way round (hwclock influencing systime) the most 
likely explanation would be the clock battery on the motherboard 
running low. No idea what's causing the observed behaviour.

Failing that, xntp is an easy way to (semi)automatically set the systime 
via a time server; urpmi xntp will install it and its home page is:

I don't bother with the daemon but, every so often, do

ntpdate ntp0.strath.ac.uk
