Unfortunately due to means out of my control, I = have no alternative, and quite frankly, this is on a very secure system = where no one has access to.... :> Right. How / what do I change (I presume this is kernel level) in order to = allow root AND normal users to be able to set the system date via the = 'date' command? I would actually prefer to juse allow uid 0 (root) plus = one additional uid to be able to change it. I had a look at /usr/src/bin/date but couldn't really find anything = there - hence, I am presuming the limitation is coming from the kenrel. If anyone can be of some aid, I'll appreciate it allot. This is = currently on a 4.10 system, I will more than likely upgrade it to = 5.x-STABLE in the near future. Regards, Chris.
