Apparently Slackware 9.1 has changed the way time is to be set.

Upon checking my Slackware 9.1 there is no longer any instance
of ntpdate or rdate. There is ntpd but I understand this is hard to
setup and overkill for a home machine.

It _appears_ that Slack 9.1 is designed to use netdate or, in more
complex environments like servers, ntpd.

Would some Slack 9.1 users confirm that this is the case?

Is there any way to set the hardware clock like the systohc option in
rdate?
