RDATE(8)						    BSD 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 address given as the argument. It uses the RFC 868 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.

NAME

       rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

       rdate sets the local date and time from the hostname given as an argument. You must have the authorization solaris.system.date on the local
       system. Typically, rdate is used in a startup script.

       The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd response, the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf must not  be  com-
       mented out.

USAGE

       The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
