[gentoo-user] Messed up system time caused messed up file modification times...

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I've just rebuilt my new machine this morning playing with
different ways to do things. Unfortunately I went sort of fast and
forgot to set date/time/timezone. (Doing too much from memory this
time.) Now when I try to set the system time to local and the hardware
clock to Pacific time and turn on ntp-client/ntpd I'm getting lots of
complaints about modification times in the future.

   This is completely my mistake and I can start over and fix it in a
couple of hours but I'm wondering if there's an easy way out of this?

Thanks,
Mark
