just type hwclock --set --date=newdate
where newdate is in the format 11/8/99 10:00:00
make sure you use military time. for instance 6 pm today is 18:00:00
so just run
/sbin/hwclock witht the proper arguments and all should be well. let me know
if this works for you. **be sure to reboot so programs that depend on time
don't act retarded.**
