I'm normally used to using FreeBSD, which has the ntpdate command to update the server's time to match a time server. However, that command doesn't exist on redhat. What's the equivalent? I badly need to update the time on my webserver.
use ntpd
do a man ntpd for more info

[root@web root]# ntpd now.okstate.edu
bash: ntpd: command not found
[root@web root]#
are you logged in as root using su - ?
thats

what version of redhat are you using ?
check poackage manager for installing the ntpd rpm
or do a locate ntpd
cheers
[root@web etc]# su -
[root@web root]# ntpd
bash: ntpd: command not found
[root@web root]# locate ntpd
[root@web root]# uname -a
Linux web.snagged.net 2.4.18-27.7.x #1 Fri Mar 14 06:44:53 EST 2003 i686 unknown
i think its redhat 9.0
where would i find the package manager?
try
up2date ntpd
or if you have a gui (X) click on the red hat, system settings/add remove applications
that will bring up package manager
cat /etc/redhat-release will tell you what version of redhat you are using

[root@web root]#
[root@web root]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma)
[root@web root]#
I can't do a GUI because i'm SSH'd into a remote location
ok you re using redhat 7.2
you'll need to find the rpm for ntpd
the ssl error is becuase you need to update your up2date ssl certificate
more info on
[/url]http://rhn.redhat.com
the rpms for redhat 7.2 are at

I updated the up2date SSL certificate, then tried to up2date ntpd.
