The hardware clock is usually set to GMT in NetBSD.  If your machine only
runs NetBSD, that should be fine - just set the clock with date and it
should look good when you reboot.  If you run another (non-unix) operating
system on the same machine, like Windows, then you will probably want to
make the hardware clock run local time.

So far as I know, the only way to do this is to recompile your kernel with
the "RTC_OFFSET" set to your time zone (actually, it's the number of minutes
west of GMT you want your hardware clock to be).

For this one you just have to replace /etc/localtime with a link to the
proper time zone file (from /usr/share/zoneinfo).  Something like "cd /etc;
rm localtime; ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern" should fix that up,
although you will probably not want that one ;o)
