- Keith's rdate

- Description
- -----------
-
- rdate is functionally similar to the rdate command found in SunOS 4.1.
- It is not based on or written with knowledge of source code from
- SunOS. rdate provides a means for setting the date of the local
- machine from another machine through use of the TCP time protocol
- defined in RFC868. Extensions are provided over the SunOS rdate: (1)
- to allow specification of multiple time servers, (2) to simply display
- the server(s) time and not set the local machine's date, and (3) to
- optionally use the adjtime system call, if available, to gradually
- adjust the local time.
-
- rdate has been ported to:
-
- HP 9000/825, HP/UX A.B7.00
- Sun 3, SunOS 4.1
- Sequent Symmetry, DYNIX 3.0.17
- VAX 3602, Ultrix 3.1
- PS/2, AIX
- Unisys U6000/51, System Vr3
- Interactive 386/ix
-
- See the man page for more information on the command.
- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
- See the file PORTING for porting comments.
