Well, /etc/conf.d/clock has *always* been set to UTC ever since I started using Gentoo in 2004 and I've always dual booted with windows. I never had these messages before. However, I bow to the superior knowledge of the people on this list :-) and I set CLOCK="local" and rebooted, I still had the messages. ls -al shows dates that are all 2007 and prior or equal to today's date or if not they specify a date in 2006 for all files in /etc/init.d, /etc/conf.d and rc.conf. Everything works, it's just that those messages are annoying. What can I say ... I'm anal about some things! :-) Something weird is definitely going on.
