Re: [gentoo-user] proper proxy syntax to synchronize time via rdate

Thank you both for the quick replies. The answer to my problem is htpdate. I was searching for such an utility for quite some time. I still have one problem, though. When installing Gentoo, I probably chose the USA as my location. However, I'm located in CET (that is, GMT+1). From htpdate, I
