For some odd ball reason unknown to me redhat does like the clock sometimes. Using the 'hwclock' command I have had to either sync the bios clock to the o/s.
hwclock --hctosys This sets hardware clcok to the system clock. Might also want to look in the /etc/sysconfig directory for clock settings. There you set timezone, UTC settings (mine is set for true) and also ARC (???).
