If you are dual-booting with some other OS that wants the clock to be local time (*cough*Windoze*cough*) or care what time the BIOS thinks it is, then yes, it will be local. OTOH, if it is a dedicated FreeBSD machine, set CMOS to UTC. So, before we all assume this is Nils's problem, make sure his CMOS clock is local time. But it is an excellent guess. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious." Crist J.
