This tends to indicate the your /etc/localtime file is wrong. The
timeservers all return UTC; the display for the date consults
/etc/localtime to display UTC time in local time.

This indicates that your zoneinfo files have not been updated
correctly.

Which definitely isn't the correct fix.

What does "md5 /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/northamerica" return? (I'm
assuming that you're in North America). On my 6-STABLE machine it's:
MD5 (/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/northamerica) = 3e582e371f445a18b065eed8f775fb20
Any other result means that your should re-cvsup, and rebuild your
system again. If it is the same, make sure your zoneinfo files have
been rebuilt (check the file timestamps).
Cheers.
