Please add the contents of /etc/conf.d/clock.
Set the correct time and then CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" in that file.

What's your version of sys-libs/timezone-data?

Comment 3 Johannes Buchner 2010-04-09 22:16:12 UTC

CLOCK_SYSTOHC was already on yes
setting the date using "date -s" yielded nothing.

Comment 4 Johannes Buchner 2010-04-09 22:45:44 UTC

Sorry, my mistake. I thought the S in NZST stood for summer, but actually it is 'standard' and my clock was just wrong by 1h. An ntp update corrected my offset of 1 hour, probably from booting another OS.
