No problem, Gentoo is smart enough to know about such things. Set your
BIOS clock to local time and put CLOCK=local in /etc/conf.d/clock - or
possibly in /etc/rc.conf, depending on your baselayout version.
Hi,
Could you expand ever so slightly on baselayout version? I have had 
this annoyance for a long time now (though I try and boot to doze as 
irregularly as possible), and want to finally understand how to fix the 
damn thing for good. So if I understand it I won't have to ask for 
instructions again!
Cheers
Antoine

He means that depending on what version of baselayout you are using you
may have to either edit /etc/conf.d/clock or /etc/rc.conf - the exact one
is left as an exercise to the reader :-)

(Did you look for those files? Did you edit them? If I read /etc/rc.conf
on my systems I see this:


# 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 CLOCK
# to local.  This setting is used by the /etc/init.d/clock script.

CLOCK=UTC


So its not like this is not documented).
