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).
