[hoary] System time problem

[Art Alexion]

Yes.

Try either

sudo hwclock --utc

    or

sudo hwclock --localtime

This tells the system whether your hardware clock is set to local or UTC
time.  Mine was set to local, but by activating ntp, I changed it to
UTC, but the system had no way of knowing of the change.  hwclock
informs the system.
