You might also want to add "hwclock --systohc" to that
alias so that you sync your HARDWARE clock to the software
one as well. :-) I do it in two steps, since I'm too lazy
to make that alias myself... :-) 'Course, you probably need
to make the "rdate" and "hwclock" executeable files run
SUID, so you don't have to constantly SU to root. :-)
