Time update - Guest - 2003-12-12
I'm normally used to using FreeBSD, which has the ntpdate command to update the server's time to match a time server. However, that command doesn't exist on redhat. What's the equivalent? I badly need to update the time on my webserver.

[root@web root]# uname -a
Linux web.snagged.net 2.4.18-27.7.x #1 Fri Mar 14 06:44:53 EST 2003 i686 unknown
i think its redhat 9.0
where would i find the package manager?
Time update - anyweb - 2003-12-12
try
up2date ntpd
or if you have a gui (X) click on the red hat, system settings/add remove applications
that will bring up package manager
cat /etc/redhat-release will tell you what version of redhat you are using

[root@web root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
[root@web root]#
I can't do a GUI because i'm SSH'd into a remote location
Time update - anyweb - 2003-12-12
ok you re using redhat 7.2
you'll need to find the rpm for ntpd
the ssl error is becuase you need to update your up2date ssl certificate
more info on [/url]http://rhn.redhat.com
the rpms for redhat 7.2 are at
[url=http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2...86/RedHat/RPMS/]http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2...86/RedHat/RPMS/
