it depends on the linux distribution, but usually you have to do something like

Code: Select all

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Karachi /etc/localtime

then turn off ntpd if it's running, and type

Code: Select all

ntpdate time.apple.com

(or time.windows.com, or ntp.ubuntu.com -- they all should be synchronized). you'll probably have to restart a few services (mail daemons, etc) for them to get the new time.

after that, enable ntpd and make sure it runs all the time.
