I'm just wondering how to set up the correct time, Althought I correctly symlinked to /etc/localtime and the BIOS shows the correct time, too my system clock seems to be about 2 hours ahead of the real time...

any suggestions?

Check your /etc/rc.conf file. If your bios clock is set for local time then make sure CLOCK="local".

Like Jeevz said, check your rc.conf.

If you have it set to what it should be already (GMT or local), then try deleting the /etc/adjtime files. Check the man page for hwclock for details.

You might be interested in setting up ntpd. It will sync you with timeservers you choose, and your clock will be accurate to within a few millaseconds (maybe more?).

I run it on my server, and my internal machines sync with my server.
