Alright… I know this is a trival matter, but you would be surprised how often I read, hear, got asked this question
so here it is …
1) get ntp
yum install ntp
2) start ntp at boot
chkconfig ntp on
3) sync to the ntp server
ntpdate ntp.pool.org
4) start ntp
service ntpd start
5) set your timezone
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime
6) verify it is all correct
date
— enjoy!
Cheers,
Ali
