set_time V1.02-00:

System time utility intended to be called from a crontab entry, that allows
one to set their system clock via a tcp/ip query to a host on the internet
with a known good clock (ie. those who update their own clocks from the
atomic clocks) This saves you the cost of a phone call there yourself.
an account on the system you are querying is not required.

It can be ftp'd from the following:

sunsite.unc.edu: /pub/Linux/Incoming   (until moved to appropriate)
lod.amaranth.com: /pub

  the "date" functions strange habit of attempting to convert the provided
  time string into what it thinks is a good time, based on it's locatime
  configuration.
