Hi Greg - Thanks for the reply. I had wondered if this might be network
related. The automatic time zone selection is correct, so it seems that
communication with the ntp pool is the problem. I could not see on the
'Tweaks' page where to specify a time server, so I did a little digging
under the hood. I edited /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver to force the
south-america pool and added this file to /opt/.filetool.lst to make the
change persistent. So far after several test reboots the time has been
set correctly.

Thanks again.
