no Meph (?), look at my alias, tdate -> rdate. 'course you can
give the alias any name you want. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought
the original problem was a mismatch of less than an hour. Getting the
time off a Net server with 'rdate' and then syncing the software clock
to the bios (hwclock --systohc) in one step fixes that.
