Well, if you have internet access on that machine, you might use
"rdate -s tock.usno.navy.mil" followed by an "hwclock --systohc".
Both of these commands should be done as "root" and "hwclock" *must*
be done as root (I've tried to run it as suid root, but it won't
work!)
I would *strongly* suggest you set up and use SSH instead of telnet.
MUCH more secure and you don't open yourself up for hacking!
