This should get you started. Most of what you need is in the Gentoo
Handbook.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/</a><br>
<br>
Section 7 of the Gentoo Handbook has the timezone setting.<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap7">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap7</a><br>
<br>
Section 8.c of the Gentoo Handbook has settings for the
/etc/conf.d/clock file<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap8">http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?style=printable&full=1#book_part1_chap8</a><br>
<br>
The "date" command will set the clock manually.<br>
<br>
date MMDDhhmmYYYY<br>
<br>
ex. 032520452009 is March 25, 20:45 2009<br>
<br>
then, the Gentoo-wiki has a good doc on setting up ntp<br>
<br>

Greetings Fellow Linux Users, <br>
<br>
As you may no doubt surmise, my e-mails always travel forward in time,
while I remain locked in the present (for now).<br>
<br>
The time is always off on my computer (I use Gentoo) and my appeals for
help on the Gentoo IRC yielded little in the way of solutions. Then
again, I label myself a special strain of dumb ass. I think my time
setting may be based on pinging a server on the wrong time zone or
maybe the internal clock on my box. Could someone offer advice for a
Gentoo newb on how to fix the time?<br>
<br>
Advance apologies if my question is too rudimentary.... <br>
<br>
-I-
