rdate -s plasma

You might need to grab rdate off your install disks as it's only installed
optionally these days.

  Subject: [TriLUG] Quick question about time syncing to linux servers


  All,
  I know that there is a command to stick into a cron job to synchronize on
linux server's time to another's.  My problem is that I have mounted a
filesystem from our main server onto my local server, and when I do makes,
gmake is complaining about time skew.  The NFS server is syncing its time to
a time server on the net, so I don't need to worry about that.  I just want
to make the time on my box the same as the time on the NFS server.

  Thanks in advance for the help,
  --matt
