These instructions are for those who want to setup properly the system time of their Bering box either using the old "rdate" function (available on the Bering floppy) or using the more precise, up-to-date ntpdate client (available as a separate package). You will also learn how to transform your Bering box in a time server in order to synchronize time of your internal network.
