Try something like this:
service ntpd stop (set the clock to correct time with program of choice) hwclock --systohc --utc service ntpd start On the hwclock command, --systohc set the hardware clock from the system clock, and --utc says to use UTC instead of local time. You want to stop the ntpd before you reset the system time to avoid problems. After you are done, you should take a look at /etc/adjtime to make sure the numbers are sane. On the first line, the first and third numbers are usually between -1 and 1.
