Default beat the clock
pcbsd 7.1.1 kde

every time I turn on this system, the clock is 4 hrs. ahead of the correct time...... even though I reset it religiously at the start of each session.

is there any way to make it retain the setting?

You might be interested in NTP.


However if the clock is consistently four hours different, odds are there is a misconfiguration about whether your system clock is set to GMT or not, causing an improper time calculation to be used. Try running tzsetup from a root konsole.
