if you have ntp setup you may need to do a single
ntpdate -b
or
ntpd -q
to get the clock within a reasonable limit so ntpd can run properly
man (8) ntpd
man (8) ntpdate

Subject: resetting clock after power outage
Hello;
I have a problem that I can't, so far find and answer to.
How do you reset the system clock after a power outage has
caused it to loose time?
I have a machine that went down a month or so ago and since
have noticed that the time stamp on such things as mail to
the root account, and log entries is way behind what it should be.
The system is FreeBSD v6.0 and does not have Xwindows
installed on it. So I need to find out how to reset the clock
from the command line. I thought I could do it with
sysinstall but I don't see an option for actually setting the
time, only the time zone.
I presume that it is important, now, as I am running named on
it as a master server and I believe it is important that it
be in sync with the slave server running on another machine
that was off at the time of the outage.
I thought maybe the bios had something to do with it but
haven't seen a way to reset the time in the bios either.
Thanks for assistance in advance;
JK
