RDATE(8)                OpenBSD System Manager's Manual               RDATE(8)

NAME
     rdate - set the system's date from a remote host



SYNOPSIS
     rdate [-psa] host

DESCRIPTION
     Rdate displays and sets the local date and time from the host name or ad-
     dress given as the argument. It uses the RFC868 protocol which is usually
     implemented as a built-in service of inetd(8).

     Available options:

     -p      Do not set, just print the remote time

     -s      Do not print the time.

     -a      Use the adjtime(2) call to gradually skew the local time to the
             remote time rather than just hopping.

FILES
     /var/log/wtmp  A record of date resets and time changes.

SEE ALSO
     inetd(8),  adjtime(2),  gettimeofday(2)
