To set the time on a linux box to one of those goverment time servers use

ntpdate time-b.nist.gov

 

Ex.

[digerati@rh9 /]$ ntpdate time-b.nist.gov


For those in different areas of the world you can use the 'pool' of time servers.

 

NTP Time Servers

 

It should be noted that the above time server is actually 'restricted'. See

TimeBNistGov

 

I would suggest using:

 

'uk.ntp.pool.org' (you can normally just replace the 'uk' with your country code)

 

Or just 'ntp.pool.org'
