Dunno.  I've never installed anything on this machine before.

I tried two different time zone settings for EDT -- Toronto and NYC.  No
difference.  No difference with ntpd running or not.

This happens while the machine is running, not at boot.  At boot the
time is always correct as it is read from the CMOS clock.

I don't think so because the h/w clock keeps the correct time.

Thanks for the thoughts.
