    Updating System Time

    EDIT: SORRY. The Timezone was off and set to Moscow for some reason.FIXED/SOLVED
    ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and all is now golden .

    Hey,



    I want to update the time on my Ubuntu server as it's like 3 hours ahead for some reason. I was on the pool.ntp.org site and it suggest getting the time/date closer manually before using somethign like ntp.

    I use the date command followed by the date/time

    date 093021402009.40
    But I get the following error. I'm even running it from root.

    date: cannot set date: Operation not permitted
    Cheers,
    Scott

    Please keep in mind I'm somewhat new to Linux so beware with the jargon .
