That's weird -- I've never encountered that. I merely do: [myotis:~]$ sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov 10 Nov 12:14:53 ntpdate[3684]: adjust time server 192.43.244.18 offset 0.000864 sec That sets your system clock. You'll then want to write that to the hardware clock, so you don't end up way off in the event of a reboot.
