Hello,

Do you have a file /etc/wall_cmos_clock on your system?
If so, that would explain the behaviour very well.
If you want your CMOS clock run at UTC instead of local
time, you have to remove that file.

Apart from the Handbook you might also have a look at
the adjkerntz(8) manual page.  It explains the mechanism
used to maintain the time zone difference (if any)
between FreeBSD and the CMOS clock.

Best regards
   Oliver
