Hardware clock is set to UTC. Verified this over several reboots. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 19 13:10 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific $ fgrep CLOCK= /etc/rc.conf CLOCK="UTC" Yet: $ date Thu Nov 18 05:06:29 PST 2004 (this is at Wed Nov 17 21:06:29 PST 2004) I'm presently not running ntpclient or ntpd at any runlevel.

Stopping/starting /etc/init.d/clock seems to make it go back to normal (not that we're supposed to do that..). Will try this across a few reboots when I have time. I did, however, try a few boots to see if the problem was a one-time-occurrence and it definitely wasn't.
at boot: * Setting system clock to hardware clock [Local Time] ... [ ok ] after booting, as root: box ~ # /etc/init.d/clock restart * Setting system clock to hardware clock [UTC] ... [ ok ]
i assume you're using baselayout-1.11.6-r1 if you're not, use it then, stop setting CLOCK in rc.conf, use /etc/conf.d/clock
