If you add an ntpdate or similar to your VM's rc.local, as it suggests in
the qemu_install doc, does that fix it on the 2nd login?
I used to have this problem until I set the time with ntpdate.
What I also do, which isn't documented, is run ntpdate from the installer
so that the files generated during installation have a fresh time stamp;
which fixes the problem.

I'll update the QEMU install document with some more information.

Thanks I forgot about that - tun is compiled into my kernel.
I've added modprobes into the qemu helper scripts.
