How to correct time & timezone ?

[Bruno Costacurta]

Hello to All,

I cannot setup system time & timezone to correct values.

In fact when I set local timezone (my area is Brussels) (via kde control 
panel) time is wrong (+1 hour). Only UTC retrun correct time.
But in this case some applications return a wrong time (+1 hour) probably 
these application take in consideration localtime zone setting.

So how to setup time & timezone (and eventualy the use of ntpd) ?

Thanks,
Bruno

Timezone can be set in the : setup 
program where it is one of the options.
Time can be set by using date command.
or if you have a ntpd server in mind with : ntpdate

For ntpd at least from the command line, as root;
root@localhost$> chkconfig ntpd on
Or from KDE right  click on the clock and select adjust time and date.
