How to set time and date using ntpd (CentOS)

How to set time and date using ntpd (CentOS)?

 

If ntpd is already running, then the time should already be set correctly.

If you didn’t install ntpd, then:

# yum install ntp
# chkconfig ntpd on
# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
# service ntpd start


If ntpd is running, but the time is way off, then you can force an update:

# service ntpd stop
# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
# service ntpd start
