21 I too am on UK time ( Oxford to be precise)
22 My /etc/conf.d/clock contains:
23
24 CLOCK="UTC"
25
26 # Select the proper timezone. For valid values, peek inside of the
27 # /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory. For example, some common values are
28 # "America/New_York" or "EST5EDT" or "Europe/Berlin".
29
30 TIMEZONE="GB"
31
32 For NTP I followed the instructions in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTP.
33
34 I hope this helps.
