I've just started running 7.0 myself, and I have the same
behavior. BUT, I also had it with 6.0. My time loss (not
always 5 hours) seems to involve putting the system to sleep with
'apm -S'.
Recent motherboard and battery (sy 6ba+III), and the bios
always has the right time. After booting back up, then Mandrake
shows the right time also. My work-a-round has been to put
' alias tdate="rdate -sp time.nist.gov" ' in bashrc, and put the
time right when I connect. ' hwclock --systohc ' has been
suggested to me, but that doesn't seem to fix it.
