Re: unix time out of sync
Which server are you using? If your internal clock cell is bad, that will reset the clock or will make it work slower.
Another chance is the 'ntp' time sync with a time server. If this sync is not proper, then the system time will change. If this is the case, then add a line in the crontab file to execute the sync every night.

Re: unix time out of sync
If you are loosing time it is likely that the real-time clock's battery is weak and may need to be replaced.

Re: unix time out of sync
Check the clock battery voltage and see if it's good. If found bad, then replace it with the help of a h/w engineer.

Re: unix time out of sync
Per the previous posts you could have a battery issue or something else going on but the bottom line is for a network environment, use ntp. It is highly unlikely that you find 2 computers keeping the same time if they are not being sync'ed.

Re: unix time out of sync
Yes ! it is possible to do that between a Unix and Netware server.

Re: unix time out of sync
Setting up ntp is quite straigtforward. See chapter-7 in the "Installing and Administering Internet Services" manual:
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90685/B2355-90685.html
I suggest synchronizing to an external source such as the US Naval Observatory.
For a good list of available time sources, see:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm
