Actually that BUG applies to FreeBSD in the same way it applied to the VAX. If you dual boot your system with FreeBSD and just about anyone elses OS you will have the problem of BSD wanting the hardware TOD clock set to GMT and the other OS wanting it set to localtime. Unless you use the gross hack that lets you run a local TZ'ed clock, /etc/wall_cmos_clock, and it's associated cron job adjkerntz. Please revert the patch and fix the wording to reflect that we are running on more modern hardware, but have to put up with other software that was designed without the though to the global time problem. > Hey, that stuff was historical!
