If you suspect the CMOS time is changing as your computer runs, you could
try running "hwclock --show" to show the current CMOS time. Running ntpd
should keep you synced all the time by drifting your clock when necessary,
and adding systohc in the shutdown scripts will keep your CMOS clock close
when you go to shutdown... This combo of utilities should be enough to
keep your time on track.
