How do update all my servers should have the same time ??

[eli101]

I want that all machines should have the same date/time, How do I update the date from a remote machine, the "rdate" command dose not work for me because I use a secure connection


Thanks for the help

You should look at xntpd, which is a daemon that allows you to synchronize your machines.
(ntp stands fot network time protocol).

you can have your router to synchronize on a atomic clock anywhere you want, and then your servers synchronize on your router, or you can have one of your servers as the reference and the others synbchronize to it.

do a man on xntpd

Without third party software, NTP is pretty much your only option for time synchronization.
