Hello. I do not use RH, so I think you probably have something set in a boot script to reset the clock but am not sure. I know that Slackware and Debian do not do this unless you enable it. However, what is probably happening is it is being reset to what Linux thinks is GMT. You need to set the kernel ot use local time. Slackware gives the option to do this on install. I think Debian does not, but does not change the clock either. You probably need to recompile the kernel to not use GMT or change a configuration setting in Red Hat.
