My local clock got moved, so I used redhat-config-time to establish a new one. Then, just in case it'd take all day to adjust it via NTP, I ran:
[root@aquila root]# rdate -s time.nist.gov Alarm clock
..."Alarm clock"? What the heck?
It looks like time.nist.gov has been out to lunch all weekend.
[root@mavis root]# ntpq
ntpq> pe
