I have pfSense-2.0 for gateway/firewall (10.10.10.2).

10.10.10.2 logs to 10.10.10.252, which runs FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE.

10.10.10.252 is the ntpd server for this LAN.

On 10.10.10.2:

date                                                                                
Tue Oct  4 00:00:42 EDT 2011

On 10.10.10.252:

$date
Tue Oct  4 00:00:50 EDT 2011
(just after logging out of 10.10.10.2, so they seem to be in sync)

However, timestamps in pfsense.log, residing on 10.10.10.252, are
shifted by 8 hours, for example:

$ tail -f /var/log/pfsense.log
Oct  4 09:00:01 10.10.10.2 pf: 00:00:00.748775 rule 1/0(match): [...]
       ^^^^^^^^

I guess I should read some man page...
