Hopefully this is reasonablly correct. ntpd doesn't seem to be running though so maybe I did something wrong?
date MMDDhhmm rdate -p time.nist.gov You should get something like "Thu Feb 14 12:41:12 2002" back after the rdate command. If you get "connection refused," the time server is not accepting connections. If this rdate -p doesn't work, find another time server. Next, use an internet time server to set your date and time by using the ntpdate command: ntpdate -s time.nist.gov Add the following to /etc/ntp.conf server time.nist.gov fudge time.nist.gov stratum 10
