rc.conf? hmmm... I think now this should be set in /etc/conf.d/clock

try that :)

I have no /etc/conf.d/clock, but I double checked /etc/rc.conf, and the CLOCK setting in it said that it was used by /etc/init.d/clock, so I looked at that, and I didn't know what I was looking at since I don't know scripts.

But as I read it now it looks like a simple if,then,else saying that if $CLOCK is set equal to UTC it sets myopts to --utc and TBLURB [UTC], which I have no idea what those are, but it seems to use --localtime as the else, so in theory wouldn't that else happen if CLOCK was set to anything but UTC?

And again, I apologize, I only have limited programming experience, so if that explanation sucked, I am really really sorry.

Just as a follow up to this I did an emerge -DN world the other day and apparently my /etc was restructured from what it was originally. CLOCK used to be set in the /etc/rc.conf, but now it is not and I do have an /etc/conf.d/clock that I set to local instead of UTC. I also had to play around with the clock in gnome also but I think it is working fine now. I have my timezone set in /etc/local and in the gnome clock, and the time is displayed properly. The emails seem to be coming in at the right times and such, so I just wanted to say thanks for the help.
