The Message Networking system uses the Linux system clock to perform
certain time-dependent tasks, such as performing the nightly backup
of critical system data. The clock is set during system installation,
but you should check it again during initial system administration
to ensure that it was set correctly. Check it again monthly and
whenever a daylight savings time change occurs.
When you set the system time for the Message Networking system
using the following procedure, you set both the Linux system clock
and the onboard (hardware) real-time clock. On Message Networking
systems using analog, you should synchronize the Message Networking
system to the switch or synchronize the Message Networking system
and switch to a real-time source.
