Is ntpd running? Try 'service ntpd status', and if it's not running use
'ntsysv' to add it to your runlevel.
If you want to set your date once, stop ntpd ('service ntpd stop') and
run 'ntpdate <your ntp server>'. It's recommended that you do that once
after you set it up because ntpd will tend to adjust time little by
little.
