This sets the time as known by the running kernel, but you might want to use adjkerntz so that the date is mostly correct on next boot (the CMOS clock must be corrected also). For a real timekeeping, use ntpd. The `ntpdate' command would have done the trick either, provided you have access to a ntp server. --Thomas Pornin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
