netdate: netdate (simple network time utility)
netdate:

netdate: the one which supplies the best time, and sets the system time
netdate: accordingly.  The invoker must be the super-user for the time to be
netdate: set.  Protocol names (either udp or tcp) may be interspersed with the
netdate: host names, and determine the protocol which will be used to connect
netdate: to the hosts whose names follow, up to the next protocol name or the
netdate: end of the arguments.  The default protocol is udp.
