FreeBSD 6.0 cron is running on GMT

[Jon Dama]

Uh, the problem would be that kernel does not know that the CMOS clock is
set to the local time.  Standard practice is that the CMOS clock should be
set to UTC.  libc then uses knowledge of the timezone to properly report
the local time.

see man adjkerntz

(adjust kernel time zone)
