Please set you time!!

[WipeOut]

Hi all..

This is a message to all participants on the list...

Please make sure the date and time on your PC is correct.. I have over 
the last week got many messages with totally incorrect dates and it 
makes sorting by date a useless excersise..

For those of you who don't know how to do it..

Firstly find the closest open time server to you..
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html

Test it by running "rdate -p time.server.name"in a terminal window.. You 
should get it printing out the current time on the screen, anything else 
means the server did not respond properly so choose another server..

Then..

Go to "System Settings" > "Date and Time" and using the NTP server you 
have chosen you can get the time updated automatically (the 
clock.redhat.com and clock2.redhat.com don't seem to be working).. You 
could also set you date manually on this screen..

Or you can simply run "rdate -s time.server.name" which will get the 
system time synced up to the time server..

When you shutdown you PC the hardware clock will be synced to the system 
time, or you can run "hwclock --systohc" to do it manually..

Later..
