for 6:00pm 14 nov 2008 it would be `date 111418002008` and century year can be omitted if current.
It should now be clear as mud.

Thank you, Ken--I found this on Google, which I should have looked at first. However, I tried to set up NTP as discussed in www.cpqlinux.com/ntp.html running in su /root, and got permission denied. So now I have the correct date, and almost the correct time, but I can't sync to NTP. Any help here? TIA-- doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
