1. Set the timezone (if other than the default EST)
 
a. cd /usr/share/zoneinfo
b. find your timezone
c. backup original timezone
cp /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.old

d. copy the new timezone
cp <newtimezone> /etc/localtime


2. Set date and time:
 
date -s "30 APR 2009 14:03:00"

3. Sync the BIOS hardware clock
 
hwclock -w

This completes setting the correct date / time. To sync the appliance to an internal timeserver please see KB-1077
