Summary: Tool for retrieving the date/time from another machine on your network
Description:
The rdate utility retrieves the date and time from another machine on your network, using the protocol described in RFC 868. If you run rdate as root, it will set your machine's local time to the time of the machine that you queried. Note that rdate isn't scrupulously accurate. If you are worried about milliseconds, get the ntp package instead. You need install xinetd and run 'chkconfig time-udp on' on time server.
