ntpdate works perfectly for setting the local clock time using the following 
syntax:
ntpdate ntp1.t-online.de

However `man ntpdate' states that ntpdate will be removed 'soon' and that I
should use `ntpd -q' instead. So I read up on ntpd but I can not seem to get 
it to
work at all. ntpdate is perfectly simple and I'm guessing ntpd is just as 
simple so I
must be missing something, I just have no idea at all what that 'something' 
could
be.

I just want to be able to set the time :]
