Hi Ingolf,

Well it looks like the system clock runs on local time and it also looks like 
the ntp server is setting local time. I did this a little after midnight. 
(UTC -4)(Eastern Daylight Time)

Easystreet:/ # ntpdate clock.isc.org
22 Oct 00:26:06 ntpdate[4625]: adjust time server 204.152.184.72 
offset -0.123777 sec
Easystreet:/ # hwclock --show ; date ; date -u
Wed 22 Oct 2008 12:26:17 AM EDT  -0.789944 seconds
Wed Oct 22 00:26:16 EDT 2008
Wed Oct 22 04:26:16 UTC 2008
Easystreet:/ # hwclock --systohc
Easystreet:/ # rm /etc/adjtime
Easystreet:/ #

I do have "that other OS" on a small drive but haven't booted it in over a 
year.

And, I rebooted into the bios  and the time was correct and then let it 
continue to boot into SuSE and lost four hours. Then rebooted into the bios 
and it showed the lost 4 hours, then  let it finish booting into Suse and 
lost another four hours.  Something in the start-up script?
