date problem

I tried to send a message from my Linux machine, but it may have been rejected because of the date problem. The machine seems to want to live in the future. A couple of months ago, it thought it was 2010. Now it thinks it's 2012. Someone told me then how to reset the date, but I've forgotten, and the man page did not set me straight. Someone help me please, and this time I'll paste the instructions on my keyboard! Thanx! --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
