I believe I've seen files ftp'ed to a FreeBSD box exhibit UTC time
rather than local (CDT) time. Perhaps this is the phenomenon you're
observing. In other words, the files only appear to have the wrong
date/time to a local eye.
Other than setting the time via the voyager interface and keeping time
sync'ed via ntp, I'm not sure what you can do.
The old-timey man pages for FreeBSD 2.2.x are available on-line at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?
This is really a good site for man pages.
