You can try using 'ntpdate' at boot time (see appropriate line in
'/etc/rc.conf' if you have access to some NTP servers.  I'm not sure
how that will work for a 5 hour difference - I know it got upset when
I had a 5-day difference.

If 'ntpdate' won't correct it, there is another thing called 'msntp'
which probably will. You can get the source from:
  ftp://oozelum.csi.cam.ac.uk/bin/msntp-1.5.tar.gz

Let me know how it goes.
