Well, finally I solved it, or found a work around to the clock 
problem. In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit there is the following line:

CLOCKFLAGS="--hctosys"

I changed that line to say:

CLOCKFLAGS="--hctosys --localtime"

This would tell the system that the hardware clock is set to local 
time and there is no need to convert it to local time.

I hope this helps others.
