Your /etc/localtime is probably a copy of the old zoneinfo data, left
over from a previous incarnation. Just copy the updated zoneinfo data
for your local timezone (I'm assuming it is MST7MDT) over it.
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT /etc/localtime
[You could make /etc/localtime a link or a symlink to the appropriate
file under /usr/share/zoneinfo, but only if /etc and /usr/share/zoneinfo
happen to be on the same filesystem (ie. on the root filesystem), which
is not the case in the default install of FreeBSD]
There is yet another copy of localtime in /var/named/etc/localtime which
you should also update in the came way if you're running named at all.
Cheers,
Matthew
