Here's a curley one. Currently, my FreeBSD system runs without timezones, since the CMOS clock is local time. This seems to work fine in most respects (internally) until we start interacting with the outside world. For example, the timezone on this email is probably +0000, which is incorrect. And another effect is that a network date/time ntp corrector I went to install today is also the expected 10 hours wrong. Yes, I know how to install the correct timzone (just create the link). But the problem is that since FreeBSD isn't the only OS I run, I don't really want to have to change the CMOS time every time I change operating systems where the CMOS is expected to be local time. Is there a happy medium? Linux, for example, had no problem with this. I'm running FreeBSD-(almost)-current, if that helps.
