Use date (man date) to set the system time, and clock (man clock) to set
the hardware clock. You can also use rdate (man rdate) to set your clock
to an external server:
example: rdate -s ntp1.cs.mcgill.ca
then use clock -w to set the hardware clock.
For some strange reason, when I just tried this on a newly installed
machine, I got 'pmac_set_rtc_time: got 0 byte reply', which is really
strange as I have done this in the past. Anyway, hopefully this won't
happen to you and it should work properly.
Cheers,
Chris
