Hi,
My PowerBook G3 w/ yellowdog Linux dosen't have such problem,
but my home-build PC w/ slackware 7.0 Linux had it.
Then I solved it like this:
As root,
# hwclock
or
#hwclock --show
then check the time. If it is wrong, the problem may depend
on the hardware clock. To set the hardware clock,
# hwclock --set --date="mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss"
"mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss" is like "08/26/00 17:38:22"
Then make syclo system clock with hardware clock:
# hwclock --hctosys
There isn't yellowdog here, so I cannot conform this command,
I'm sorry.
I hope it works for you.
