Hi Dan,

Yes, hardware clock and system clock. But your problem is slightly different:

When you change the time or time zone settings - either manually, through the 
GUI or by synchronizing the system time with an NTP server - then daemons 
that were already started when the old time settings were in effect may not 
immediately "inherit" the new time settings. They then may continue to run 
with the old time information. That will clear during the next restart of the 
daemons, during a logrotate (for some daemons) or a reboot.
