Richard, David - check your hardware clock "# hwclock -r" and compare that to the time returned by "# date". If they are hours apart, then make sure your sysclock is correct and set the hardware clock to your sysclock with "# hwclock -w". Worth checking regardless. I know this used to be done on boot or shutdown and I don't know why it isn't anymore. I'll do some more digging.
I'm running ntpd on all machines, so sysclock and hwclock are almost perfect in sync. If the issue is clock-related it would be rather the fault of ntpd and adjtimex slewing the time than the difference between sysclock and hwclock.
