My guess is that you don't have the timezone specified correctly. The normal way is to have the hardware clock run at UTC and let the system adjust for timezone when appropriate. The easiest way to set up the correct timezone is with tzsetup(8). The correct timezone for Sweden right now is 'CEST'. If your hardware clock is running at local time, which might be the case for a dual boot machine where the other OS expects localtime, you need to run adjkerntz(8) also. The manpages for tzsetup(8) and adjkerntz(8) might be useful to read. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
