|  i would suggest the following to try and track the problem:

|  1. enable process accounting.
|  2. write a cron job that will write the time into a file, once a minute.
|  
|  then wait a day. check the exact time in which the machine's time drifted
|  by an hour, and then look for suspicious activity in the proces accounting
|  data.
|  
|  btw, i assume that the machine is not rebooted every day. right?
