Hello Dan,

Do you have the ntp daemon installed? If so check your /etc/ntp.conf file. Also check if the ntp daemon is running (system - administartion - services).

Uh oh, top posting? ;)

Yes, ntp is running and is properly, I believe.  It snaps in
once I get the time setting close enough.  Somehow time
is off anywhere from 2-8 hours in the past or in the future
after a reboot.

A) are you dual booting with windows or any other OS/distribution (even another instance of Fedora)?
   {perhaps the other OS thinks the hardware clock is/[is not] on UTC.}

B) what are the contents of /etc/adjtime and /etc/sysconfig/clock?
{repeat this question for each instance of Fedora|Unix installed on the machine.}

C) it seems strange that the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd is not syncing the clock before kicking off ntpd.
you may need to add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/ntpd
dostep=yes

D) have you tried adding '-g' to OPTIONS=... in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd ?


E) are you using a static IP or dynamic?
   on a wired network or wireless?
{Network manager (the default now) works well on wireless dynamic IP networks, but from what has been said on this list, if you are on a wired network using static IP's then it is best to `chkconfig NetworkManager off`, `chkconfig network on`. if you are on static wireless or dynamic wired, it is a tossup as to which is best to use. NM has been set to come up AFTER many of the services that REQUIRE networking.}
