It is not advisible to change the system time in the manner proposed in post #1. Hard setting the date/time should only be done in single user mode armed with full knowledge of the effects on programs such as System Accounting and any Database Engines you may have.
What are you trying to do? We seem to have a proposed solution without knowing the problem.
If your system clock is a little bit fast, there should be a clock drift function (see "man date"). Or if you have access to a Time Server, use NTP as ctsgnb advises.
(Post drafted before seeing post #4). There has to be a better way which does not involve messing with the system clock.

Default value: 30 (seconds)
Minimum value: 0
Maximum value: 100000000
Specifies the size of the AutoFS hash table used to find all AutoFS directories and symlinks system-wide. The size is calculated at
