RDATE(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual RDATE(8)
NAME
rdate - set the system's date from a remote host
SYNOPSIS
rdate [-psa] host
DESCRIPTION
rdate displays and sets the local date and time from the host name or
address given as the argument. It uses the RFC 868 protocol which is
usually implemented as a built-in service of inetd(8).
Available options:
-p Do not set, just print the remote time
-s Do not print the time.
-a Use the adjtime(2) call to gradually skew the local time to the
remote time rather than just hopping.
FILES
/var/log/wtmp A record of date resets and time changes.
