try 'man date'. the syntax is date MMDDhhmmYY.
month/day/hour/minute/year
to set the current date and time for anchorage (apr. 30, 2002 @ 9:20pm)
would be:
date 0430212002
to save that to the hardware clock for after reboots, since i've noticed
it doesn't always get saved properly, use the utility hwclock
/sbin/hwclock --systohc
this should be done on your next system shutdown, but after having to
figure out why this wasn't happening a long while back, i do it just to
be sure on the few times i ever have to change my clock manually.
you might also want to look up the gnome app 'gnuclear'. it's an atomic
clock app that gives you a list of servers to choose from and, if run as
root, allows you to change the system clock to match.
