Hi,
How do I set / change date after installation?
Currently I can issue
Code:
date <value>
everytime I login.
I've "UTC" set in hwclock.

Thanks

If you emerge net-misc/ntp and add ntp-client to your default runlevel, the system clock will be syncronized with internet servers at every boot:
Code:
emerge ntp
rc-update add ntp-client default


Then you can set
Code:
clock_systohc="YES"
in /etc/conf.d/hwclock to make the system clock update the hardwareclock at shutdown.

Refer to
Code:
/etc/conf.d/ntp-client
and
Code:
/etc/ntp.conf
for further info.

Greetings gsoe

Thanks that worked,
I read about ntp, however I was not sure if that is the only way or I can do it through the way I setup clock while installing Gentoo
