[0][phox@box ~ ]$ fgrep CLOCK= /etc/conf.d/clock CLOCK="UTC" Across reboots UTC is not properly coordinated. Rebooting results in a correct value for UTC being reported as locally correct time e.g.: [0][phox@box ~ ]$ date Tue Dec 21 05:38:53 PST 2004 when in fact it's 13:38:53 PST. Strangely enough, I can't make it do this twice, i.e. offset by 16 hours instead of 8. Also tried removing /etc/adjtime before rebooting, still does the same thing. I've had issues with that in the past in combination with similar issues with the clock script. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. C-A-D (shutdown -r now) 2. wait 3. Actual Results: `date` prints UTC value as being correct for local timezone.

and have you tried setting CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes ? the clock behavior hasnt changed from 1.11.7 to 1.11.8 except to add back in support for /etc/rc.conf (make sure you're not setting CLOCK in there too)
Same thing was happening w/ .7 I'll try the suggested setting. I only have UTC being set in /etc/conf.d/clock
Appears non-reproduceable w/ new setting. Will reopen if it breaks again. TY.
