Re: how to set correct time?



to set the system clock to standard time, run (as root):


    rdate time.nist.gov


that server is usually really slow so it may take a few tries to get
through.  see `man rdate`.  you may have to install the rdate package;
it's in opt/net.

to set the hardware clock from the system clock (after running the
above), run (also as root):


    hwclock --systohc


also see `man hwclock` for info on that too.
