The Redhat box is fine, however the Fedora box always seems to revert
to a time about 8 hours in advance.

"about" 8 hours? You are posting from the UK, and my timezone files say
that should be +01:00 (BST). 8 hours in advance of that would put you in
something in East Asia.

Perhaps it is not coincidental that the OP's message has a date given in
the -0700 time zone (western US?), which is 8 hour different from the
UK, although in the other direction.

Ah, you never noticed that a significant number of the messages posted have
that zonetime? When you post via google.groups, the "G2/0.2 User-Agent"
posts a lot of information (look _in_ the headers - try pressing the 't'
key in slrn while reading the article) and uses the local time in
Mountain View, California (about 27 miles / 43 KM Southeast of San
Francisco) as the posting time.
