thanks.

here's what i did based on my understanding of the instructions given above:
# cd $HOME
# fetch -o europe 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/contrib/tzdata/europe?rev=1.7.2.2;content-type=text%2Fplain
# zic europe
# tzsetup -r

:; date
Sat Nov  5 00:54:32 EET 2011

the timezone did change from 'FET' to 'EET', but the time is still wrong 
by being 1 hour ahead of the actual ukraine time.

another thing i tried, which didn't seem to help was set these 
environment variables in my /etc/rc.conf:
(as suggested here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10276 
[post # 6])

ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-u -b"
ntpdate_hosts="ua.pool.ntp.org"

i must be doing something wrong. just don't know what is it.

can anyone please suggest what it is i should be doing?

thanks.

sasha
