They are set up to get time via NTP, FWIW.
Of course, it mightn't be DST, but I can think of no better
explanation.
Not sure what DST does (if DST is Daylight Savings Time, how can it
boot up one hour later), but have you tried:
sudo system-config-date
Yeah, but no joy.
Turns out that the hw clock on both systems was one hour less than the
actual time. How this could have happened is a puzzle, but the hwclock
program allowed me to fix the problem.
Thanks to all who replied.
Do the machines dual boot Winblows? Winblows keeps the hardware clock
in local time (rather than UTC like Linux). This can cause problems
with timezones and DST.
