Have you edited /etc/rc.conf? You'll need the entry below

# Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your system clock is set to UTC (also known as
# Greenwich Mean Time).  If your clock is set to the local time, then set=
=20
CLOCK
# to "local".  This setting is used by the /etc/init.d/clock script.

CLOCK=3D"local"

Which means that if you set your computers BIOS to your local time, You'l=
l=20
need to tell the system not to compensate for any variations

Hope this helps,
