Title: computer not keeping time

I have a computer with RH 6.2 installed that is not holding the time correctly.

Through this list, I found out about the hwclock command.  I put it in crontab to execute every half hour.  When that didn't work, I changed it to every 15 minutes, then 10, and now I'm down to every 5 minutes.  As far as I can tell, it's not executing though.  Here's my command line from crontab:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /sbin/hwclock --hctosys
 
When I manually execute the line, it seems to work fine.  Then, after a while, there's several hours difference in the time again.  As you can imagine, this makes my log files a mess.

 
Thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Rhonda Kern
