Hi
System time: what time does the motherboard think it is - so BIOS / firmware?
If you set the time using the date command / a systems setting app
and then run
hwclock --systohc
what happens?
hwclock is a small utility to set the hardware clock.
[This way round is system time -> hardware clock or you can do
hwclock --hctosys
to set the other way round.]
Is the system dual booting with another OS which assumes that it has
control of the clock (usually Windows and setting local timezones
with daylight saving time)?
Hope this helps, any more details you can give may be helpful.
With every good wish, as ever,
