Renaud, I had that problem, too. (*Exactly* that problem.) It turned out that my housemate had written a script (in /etc/rc.boot) to set the clock properly back when we first installed the system (when hwclock was completely broken on the PowerPC), and that script was no longer working properly. I disabled the script and things got better. (I have some vague memory of having to create new links to /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh in some of the /etc/rc*.d directories, but I may be thinking of something else.)
I did notice an eight hour clock skew the last time I spent any significant time in MacOS before coming back to Linux (``coincidentally'', I'm in the Pacific Time Zone, eight hours behind GMT). I can't recall now if I made a permanent fix to that problem or if I decided to wait until the next time I do some work in MacOS and come back to Linux to find a major clock skew. ;-) C. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Behind the counter a boy with a shaven head stared vacantly into space, a dozen spikes of microsoft protruding from the socket behind his ear. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ C.M.
