[TriLUG] date/time question

[Janyne Kizer]

Hopefully this is reasonablly correct.  ntpd doesn't seem to be running
though so maybe I did something wrong?

date MMDDhhmm
rdate -p time.nist.gov

 You should get something like "Thu Feb 14 12:41:12 2002" back after the
rdate command. If you get "connection refused," the time server is not
accepting connections.  If this rdate -p doesn't work, find another time
server.  Next, use an internet time server to set your date and time by
using the ntpdate command: 

ntpdate -s time.nist.gov

Add the following to /etc/ntp.conf 

server time.nist.gov
fudge  time.nist.gov stratum 10
