Sort of but really not really :( ... There is nothing in my /etc/rc.conf
nor in my /boot/loader.conf that clearly is *the* one time daemon to run,
that promises to keep accurate time from the Navy's heartbeat and maintain
GMT offset and daylight savings information:

# grep ntpd /etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"            # Run ntpdate to sync time on boot (or NO).
ntpdate_program="ntpdate"       # path to ntpdate, if you want a different one.
ntpdate_flags="-v"              # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled).
xntpd_enable="NO"               # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
xntpd_program="ntpd"            # path to ntpd, if you want a different one.
xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid"      # Flags to ntpd (if enabled).

Should I change the line 'ntpdate_program="ntpdate"' to ="ntpd" instead?

PS. Where *is* GMT offset information for the box stored anyway??
