^^^^
While your hardware clock is set to GMT your system "thinks" its local. Here
is what you need to do:
First, edit /etc/rc.conf (or better /etc/conf.d/clock because that is the
current way to do it) and set CLOCK to "UTC". Then set your system clock to
your correct local time by using the command "date". Remove /etc/adjtime.
Lastly, adjust your hardware clock by using "hwclock -uw". From now on,
everything should be fine.
