That was me. I changed the PC's clock to UTC (GMY) and told Red Hat
Linux that my system clock uses UTC. The time is now correct in Linux
(thanks for that).
But I suspect that when I* not* using the time server another program
interferes with the time and it still jumps ahead. What program could do
such thing ? I am just curious as lomg as my time is correct, it is not
a very urgent matter of course.
