[ale] rdate problem

[Charles Shapiro]

D'oh!  Your rdate command is setting your clock to GMT, probly 'cause
that's the local time of the server (.uk is Britain  IIRC). You could
either find a server closer to home (I favor tick.gatech.edu), or if
you're dead set on using that server you could  probably fiddle a script
to apply your timezone to the date either with the TZ symbol or by 
wrangling it after it's set with date(1).
