ntpdate and openntpd set time 4 hours earlier

hi! i set my etc/rc.conf to

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="America/Buenos Aires"

but "ntpdate ar.pool.ntp.org" set time to 14:18, but the real time here is 18:55, so openntpd lol...

in my /etc/ntpd.conf i set:

servers ar.pool.ntp.org

in my /etc/ntp.conf i set:

server 0.ar.pool.ntp.org
server 1.south-america.pool.ntp.org
server 3.south-america.pool.ntp.orgserver ar.pool.ntp.org

and the "date" command man page confuse me
tnx in advance!

Is your hardware clock really set to UTC?

Yes, in the BIOS setup.  Is the BIOS clock set to localtime or UTC?
