List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello all I am having a bit of a problem with the date command. I want to set it up so that my computer can fetch the current date from a time server. However, I know of no time servers and I also have no clue how to pass the correct arguments to the date command. Can anyone help me out on this? What should be the commands to the date command to tell it to look at some server for the time, and set the system time accordingly. I am on eastern standard time if that helps.
