Assuming you just want to adjust it to the correct time, and not a random time, you can use ntp. There is a thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=41099 that goes through setting up the ntp daemon to automagically update the time and date for you. Personally, I have 'ntpdate' in my crontab, and it runs every day. emerge ntp pick your local time server from this list: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html I go to Adelaide University, so I use ntp.saard.net as my server. run this command as often as you need: ntpdate ntp.saard.net And there you go, the time and date will be set correctly. :) Cheers, Max. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
