rdate(1M)

NAME

     rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

     rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

     rdate sets the local date and time from the  hostname  given
     as   an   argument.   You   must   have   the  authorization
     solaris.system.date on the local system. Typically, rdate is
     used in a startup script.

     The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd
     response,  the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf
     must not be commented out.

USAGE

     The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
