    changing the time through xterm

    I'm using TWM on Fedora Core 3. the time is currently 11:30 in my timezone and my computer is telling me that the time is 7:30.

    what command do I use to change the time?

    you need to be root, but run:
    Code:
    date -s 12:00
    to set the time to 12 o'clock. just change the 12:00 accordingly.
