          /usr/sbin/ntpdate clock.isc.org

          Timezone modification can be done with the following steps.
          /stand/sysinstall
          | -- [ Configure ]
          |--[ Time Zone ]

              actually time is for command execution timing in freebsd.

              eg...
              $ time perl -e 'for(0..10000000){}'

              real 0m1.425s
              user 0m1.394s
              sys 0m0.009s

                  ntpdate <ntp server>


                  cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
                  ls

                  pick your time zone

                  cp timezonefile /etc/localtime

                  or something like:

                  "date 0307080106"

                  Would set it to July 8th, 2003 1:06am

                  03 = 2003
                  07 = July
                  08 = Day
                  0106 = 24 hour time

                      hehe.. ok I GOTTA SAY IT. I LOVE Bsd, and I REALLY dont like windows servers... REALLY. But jesus folks, why does it take SO MUCH to set the time in bsd? really now! really, on that note, I am sysadmin for 9 linux / freebsd servers. I REALLY like BSD, but holy shit... hehe

                          Note the Timezone.

                          > ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov

                          If your timezone is not set properly, then

                          > /stand/sysinstall

                          Configure->Time zone ->

                          then
                          > ntpdate ntp.nasa.gov

                          Too easy.
