Run these commands:
touch /tmp/now
ls -l /tmp/now
date
The first just creates a file.
The second will show you info on that file, including the date. What is
it?
The third shows the current date and time... what your machine thinks it
is.
Do the second and third commands tell you that the current time (as your
machine thinks it is) is the same as the creation time of the file you
just created? If so, then you need to set the correct time for your
computer. If not, then there's more serious problems. (I hope it's the
first thing.)
