From /usr/ports/sysutils/clockspeed/pkg-message: Clockspeed uses the libtai library, check /usr/ports/devel/libtai for more details. TAI time measure is off 22 seconds from UTC time measure. Therefore, your system time will show a 22 secs difference from your time source after you've installed this port. To fix this, you could follow this simple recipe created with PR ports/27617.
