You live on the US East Coast, dontcha? sounds like your linux is set
to GMT, which at-the-moment is +4 hours...
IIRC, timezone is contained in /etc/timezone...

ZONE="America/St_Vincent"
UTC=false
ARC=false
The first line is some city from your time zone, the second tells linux
that you are not on Universal Time, and the third one has no importance
whatsoever.
If you set this using setup or timeconfig, make sure that "hardware
clock set to GMT" is *not* checked.

1. HELP:stime() system call advances hardware clock by four hours?
SCO Unix 3.2.4, Everex tempo 386-25's
We had a cron job that set the correct time on a bunch of machines at
5 in the morning vi a rcmd <machine> date `date +%m%d%H%M%y`
We discovered that the date command was setting the realtime clock
ahead by four hours. I wrote a program which basicaly ran
stime ( time ( 0 ) );
Before the program ran the realtime clock and the Unix clock were
bothe correct. Afterwards the clock was four hours fast. The Kernel
params
GMOFFSET is set to 300. (I'm in Boston).
and dst is valid. Can someone tell me why the stime call even looks
at the realtime clock?
To patch my problem, I'm going to have to write the real time to
/dev/clock after the call to stime.
If someone can see anything wrong here please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
