I'm confused why are you are trying to set the time/date on the  
terminals. By default, isn't the chroot exported to the clients as  
read-only? When you log into a terminal, you are actually looking at  
a GUI provided from the server, including the time applet, unless I'm  
misunderstanding you. So the time your users are seeing should be  
coming from the server, unless you set up shell access on the thin  
client itself (like a local app, not an xterm).
