David,
I am in the central time zone and there's roughly 6 hrs difference between what time my RH box thinks it is and *I* think it is... I think that 6 is my GMT differential.
When you say, "setup" -- are you talking about booting from the cd and going through the install process?
I checked my /etc/sysconfig/clock and it has:
ZONE="America/Chicago"
UTC=false
ARC=false
BTW, this is identical to another RH 6.2 box I have running that *isn't* confused about what time it is. :-)
Thanks,
Rhonda

Rhonda -
Does the mysterious time jump by chance correspond to your GMT
differential? Try running "setup" and make sure the time zone is as
it should be. When you're satisfied that the system time (as seen
with the "date" command) is accurate, run 'setclock'. Then either
restart anything that uses the clock (syslog, at the very least) or
reboot. See if that helps.
