Run "date" with an argument as root. See "man date". A small extract
The command:
date 8506131627
sets the date to ``June 13, 1985, 4:27 PM''.
The command:
date 1432
sets the time to 2:32 PM, without modifying the date.
If you have a portable that you sometimes connect in a network and
want to set the time to match theirs you can connect to a "time
server". I use
% ntpdate erlang
because "erlang" runs "xntd".
