Re: time settings problem

Have you tried running the hwclock -s command and removing /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime

Re: time settings problem

The timezone components need to be capitalized. Try: TIMEZONE="America/Toronto" in your /etc/rc.conf.

You can also give NTP a try, if you're not using it already.
