I have forwarded your question and directed replies to the FreeBSD-questions mailing list, as this is the appropriate place to find answers for this kind of question. Now, to attempt to answer it: when you were installing, do you remember the install program asking you if your CMOS clock is set to local time or GMT time? I suspect you answered that question wrong. For more information, see "man adjkerntz". Basically, if your BIOS/CMOS clock is set to the local time, you need to create a file called /etc/wall_cmos_clock. You can do this by typing (as root): touch /etc/wall_cmos_clock If your BIOS/CMOS clock is set to GMT, remove the /etc/wall_cmos_clock file so your computer will know the clock is on GMT at startup. Lastly, be sure your CMOS clock, which is accessible from the BIOS setup screens, is correct. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
