I have forwarded your question and directed replies to the FreeBSD-questions
mailing list, as this is the appropriate place to find answers for this kind
of question.
Now, to attempt to answer it: when you were installing, do you remember the
install program asking you if your CMOS clock is set to local time or GMT
time? I suspect you answered that question wrong. For more information,
see "man adjkerntz".
Basically, if your BIOS/CMOS clock is set to the local time, you need to
create a file called /etc/wall_cmos_clock. You can do this by typing (as
root):
touch /etc/wall_cmos_clock
If your BIOS/CMOS clock is set to GMT, remove the /etc/wall_cmos_clock file
so your computer will know the clock is on GMT at startup.
Lastly, be sure your CMOS clock, which is accessible from the BIOS setup
screens, is correct.
