But do I have to set it every single time my screensaver activates? In
gnome I can reset the clock, although gnome complains about it. I was
doing that for awhile, but it gets aggravating to have to set the clock
everytime my screensaver kicks in. I'm hoping for something that will
automatically update the clock, say every hour, to the correct time
without my having to do it manually. I don't know what that command is,
but I suppose I could put it in cron.hourly if I had to.
