Hi all,

When I installed my box, I configured Europe/Madrid as a timezone (I 
live in Barcelona).

I use OpenNTPd, so my prompt always shows to me the correct hour; but 
since I've installed symon (an excelent monitoring tool) I note that the 
generated graphs are -2 hours.... ???

well, I go to BIOS and change the hour... but it seems that always 
change to -2 hours. ?????

After a lot of RTFM, I change the kernel timezone:

$ config -ef /bsd
OpenBSD 4.2-stable (GENERIC) #0: Mon Feb 18 13:10:48 CET 2008
     jespasac@deimos.cdmon.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC
Enter 'help' for information
ukc> timezone
timezone = -120, dst = 0
ukc> quit
Saving modified kernel.

But when I reboot the box, the -2 hours error stills here:

[jespasac@deimos] [~] [10:59:59]
$ date -u
Thu Apr 10 09:00:01 UTC 2008

(note that the prompt shows the correct time... but the UTC system not...)

?????
