Is the problem that your clock is off, or are you in the wrong time
zone?
If it's a Redhat or Mandrake system, look at the file /etc/sysconfig/clock.
It should contain a line that says:
ZONE="..US/Pacific"
If it's a SuSE, Debian, Caldera, Slackware, TurboLinux, or other
system, I don't know how to set the time zone, but you can check it
with the date command -- it should say PDT. Like this.
% date
Mon Jun 12 10:32:41 PDT 2000
If the time zone is right, then log in as the superuser (root) and use
the date(1) command to set the current time. The man page explains
the format, but the man page has way too much info. Right now, it's
Mon Jun 12 10:34:48 PDT 2000, so I'd type:
# date 06121034.48
(as in, 06 month, 12 day, 10 hour, 34 minute, 48 seconds).
It probably uses the weird date format because sometime around 1973
some programmer at Bell Labs didn't want to spend more than a couple
of minutes writing a date parsing routine.
