I don't think ntpdate and ntpd modify the system clock, only the runtime clock. So, my guess is that the two clocks are not in synch. Normally, RedHat-ish systems (including Fedora) write back the runtime clock setting to the system clock on shutdown, but perhaps this isn't happening for some reason.
Ya, that was it. I fixed the sys clock then wrote it to the hwclock and rebooted and it seems to be correct now, thanks!
So the big mystery is why is the Fedora shutdown not writing the correct time to the hwclock? I too thought that was automatic. I've never had this problem on other Fedora systems. Anyone know what program/rpm/script is responsible for this? Some quick greps of etc aren't finding me anything.
