I'm going nuts



OK, I give up.   For some reason my RH 6.0 machine at home started adding
one day (24 hours) to my software clock.   If I look at the hardware clock
on boot up the correct date and time are there.  If I get into windows the
correct date and time are there but when I boot into Linux (which is most of
the time) I'm off by 24 hours (ahead).

I'm not sure where it's messed up.

during the boot process I can see the correct date and time displayed on the
screen as the boot process takes place then some time after that I get my
login and at that time something has added one day.

I am using chrony to update my system time from the internet every time I
dial out.  I started doing this when my computer was on for weeks at a time
and it was loosing time.  for awhile it was working great.  Then on or about
the change for Day light savings my clock was off by an hour.  I went into
timeconfig and tried messing with different time zones (it was on
America/Denver if I remember correctly).  Well there are lots of options to
select my time zone and I tried them all.  I don't know if that is what
caused it or not.

I know Linux keeps a log of how far the software clock is from the hardware
clock and will adjust that.  This is what I thought the problem was BUT
either I can't find all the files or this isn't it.  - I've found two chrony
files that I deleted and both came back after reboot to what they were
before and I can't find the system file that does the same thing but I
believe I set it to all zeros.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this and on what time zone I
should select to get daylight savings working OK next time around?

Thanks

Brad
