ntpd (ntpupdate) or rdate are better options :)

You know what ?? Until I used Gentoo, I didn't know how to set the clock from the command line !! :-) I don't use Gnome or KDE or similar, so there's no GUI method of adjusting the clock for me so I *have* to know how to do it by hand.


I am going to set up ntpd though, since you mention it.
