SuSE 10 Time Changes

OS: SuSE 10.0 with current patches I have observed a mysterious problem on several SuSE 10.0 Pro systems, namely the clock advancing an hour or so for no apparnt reason. For example, when I first used my system, the time on the KDE screen was accurate but when I returned an hour or so later it had advanced approximately 57 minutes. I am using local time and am in the NA-Eastern time zone. On other systems using UTC time, it set the clocks back an hour depsite on Suunday, October 30 despite the fact UTC should not be affected by the Daylight Savings lunacy. Is this a known problem? Are there any solutions? Thank you, Lucky Leavell
