Thank you for your answers.
As a matter of fact, my computer clock *has* to be in local time because Linux has to
share it from time to time with an other OS wich can't deal with UTC clocks.
I checked that my conf is correct regarding this setting, and everything is ok :
- "[ ] Hardware clock set to GMT" is unchecked in timeconfig
- /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris
So it seems there is a process that runs periodically to changes the hardware clock...
But what could it be ?
I haven't found anything like that in crontab. (It's empty.)
Anacron is installed but doesn't seem to be launched during boot process.
[BTW, It seems to be something wrong in /etc/anacrontab ?
...
7 10 cron.weekly run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
7 10 cron.weekly run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
...

Still a mystery !
:(
Does someone know of what could cause that time-jump ?
Thanks,
Eric
