How do you adjust time in Solaris 9?

[uncgis]

I just updated to solaris 9 and I think I configured the time wrong during the installation. I have checked under the /etc/TIMEZONE and I have the right TZ setting...but my clock is two hours behind.

Does anyone know how to adjust the time?

Thanks

Do a man date on the command line

Time is fairly easy to change with the date command. See its man page.

You may want to consider activating xntpd on your system. This will keep your system continually up to date.

A basic setup just involves creating a /etc/inet/ntp.conf file with a couple of reliable time servers and starting xntpd.

Here are the two lines I have in my ntp.conf file.
server tock.usno.navy.mil
server tick.usno.navy.mil

Start nptd by running "/etc/init.d/xntpd start"

I'd recommend doing a man on xntpd for more info on the command.
