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