To reset time, assuming you have an internet connection, type "rdate
-s time.nist.gov" and that'll synch your software clock with NIST's
(National Institute of Standards) atomic clock.
If you don't have or can't connect to the 'net, the command is
"date." Type "man date" or "date --help" for specifics. Basically, as
root, type "date -s <day/month/year> +<time of day in military time>
i.e. date -s 07-21-00 +09:16
