OUT OF DATE as of 2008-11-01.
For our systems, we want to use the network time protocol put in place by the college. Therefore, we do not set the time manually but rather, have it sync from the Carleton Network Time server. To do this follow these easy steps.
As root, under the Applications menu to the right of the little red hat, click on System Settings/Date and Time.
Click on the Network Time protocol tab. Under this tab you should see a place to add and delete network time servers. Delete any servers that are there.
Then type ntp.carleton.edu and click the add button. ntp.carleton.edu should then appear as a server on the list. Click OK and wait a few moments for the machine to sync with the server.
Double check the time to make sure it is accurate. Your system should now have the correct date and time.
