How do i change the system time? i,ve tried

date 1245

but it doest work. mrtg updates still show the old time. Can anyone help?

Strange. That is exactly how I used to change system time on FreeBSD 4.3-4.6. Have they changed this in FreeBSD 4.8? (Try: man date)

Or, an other idea: were you root when you issued that command?

Yes i was root, but it still does'nt work. Immedietly i change i type date and it gives me the old time.

Weird. Issuing date xxxx as root changes my system time to xx:xx. FreeBSD 5.2.

Do you get any error messages when you issue that command?

It may be unrelated, but the "date 1245" command results in error under Linux, too. I suspect that there are different implementations of the date command under different unices. Maybe your FreeBSD version contains a date util that requires a syntax similar to the Linux one? (I am just guessing).

If so, there is an older thread somewhere in this forum, where I posted a message with the syntax of the date command that worked for me on Linux. Maybe you could try that.

Anyway, "man date" should help.

Heey!, i figured it out!, see the thing is using the bios system time, yees, so i just changed the bios time and everything b-came fine!
