Fedora 9: time always wrong after reboot
 
The tyme on my system is always wrong after reboot.

ntpdate time.nist.gov

set correct time. Hence timezone settings are valid.

But after reboot I have wrong time again (12 hours shifted).

Where I can put time.nist.gov as a time server to sync?

tzdata
 
This sounds possibly like your tzdata files are messed up, or you have not chkconfig'd ntp, so it start up automatically and runs periodically.

by chance do you also have MS windows installed in a dual boot ??
linux likes to set the computer's clock to UTC and Microsoft sets in to your LOCAL time

I have removed all default NTP servers from ntp.conf and inserted *.gov -- and it started to work

Code:
#server 0.fedora.pool.ntp.org
#server 1.fedora.pool.ntp.org
#server 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org
server time.nist.gov
Looks like the time was wrong on one of the server (am/pm mixed).

How to query NTP server?

No, no Windows, single OS.

You are right, it is off in chkconfig. But why it worked wrong then? Why it was forget my date command effect?

Try config
 
Try fiddling with the configuration file and running the command manually.

This is probably way too late a response, but, check the bottom of this article with regard to setting your hardware clock and the associated comments:
