Uhm...what's this? [rdate question]

[Simon]

the rdate program gets the time from RFC868 time servers, not NTP time
servers.

    My local clock got moved, so I used redhat-config-time to establish a
new one.  Then, just in case it'd take all day to adjust it via NTP, I
ran:

[root at aquila root]# rdate -s time.nist.gov Alarm clock

    ..."Alarm clock"?  What the heck?
