Basic information please.

Good day all.
I was glad to find this site. I am not new to computing as I have been in the field sense 1986 but my experience has almost all been with Windows systems. I garbed a book and managed to get a UNIX box running FreeBSD for my mail server and I'm serving 3 web sites off of two Win-98 systems and I have a block of IP's.

I have two partners in the business, One in EU and one nine states away. I am looking for a way for them to be able to access the UNIX systems here from there windows systems to admin it.

I am in the process of learning how to move the web hosting to the UNIX box so it is all in one place as I understand one can assign the different domains that are pointed to different IP's and UNIX can sort them out.

I just do not readily see the best interface for a Win-98 system to admin the UNIX box. Can you all help me out here?

rtc

rtc(1M) 						  System Administration Commands						   rtc(1M)

NAME

       rtc - provide all real-time clock and GMT-lag management

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rtc [-c] [-z zone-name]

DESCRIPTION

       On x86 systems, the rtc command reconciles the difference in the way that time is established between UNIX and MS-DOS systems. UNIX systems
       utilize Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), while MS-DOS systems utilize local time.

       Without arguments, rtc displays the currently configured time zone string. The currently configured time zone string is based on  what  was
       last recorded by rtc-z zone-name.

       The  rtc  command  is  not normally run from a shell prompt; it is generally invoked by the system. Commands such as date(1) and rdate(1M),
       which are used to set the time on a system, invoke /usr/sbin/rtc -c to ensure that daylight savings time (DST) is corrected for properly.

OPTIONS

       -c	       This option checks for DST and makes corrections if necessary. It is normally run once a day by a cron job.

		       If there is no RTC time zone or /etc/rtc_config file, this option will do nothing.

       -z zone-name    This option, which is normally run by the system at software installation time, is used to specify the time zone  in  which
		       the  RTC is to be maintained. It updates the configuration file /etc/rtc_config with the name of the specified zone and the
		       current GMT lag for that zone. If there is an existing rtc_config file, this command will update it. If not,  this  command
		       will create it.

FILES

       /etc/rtc_config	       The data file used to record the time zone and GMT lag. This file is completely managed by /usr/sbin/rtc, and it is
			       read by the kernel.
