> Stupid question of the day: How do I change my clock? use ntpdate as root (or preferably with sudo), ntpdate ntp-1.cso.uiuc.edu that will set your system clock. To write that to your hardware clock, do hwclock --systohc That's the manual approach, and it works fine. But you probably want to run ntpd or xntpd, so that your system automatically updates itself against one or more time servers. To do that you install the package and tweak the .conf file to add the server names. Simple as that. Andy
