setclock is gone

[Cliff Kent <cliff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prior versions of RHL have included a little script, /usr/sbin/setclock, 
that calls /sbin/hwclock to set the system hardware clock to the current 
linux system time.

In RHL 9, /usr/sbin/setclock is gone.

The release notes say: "timeconfig - Replaced by redhat-config-date". I 
think setclock was part of that package.

The old setclock script is superficially similar to the "# Set the 
system clock." section of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. One reads from the 
hardware clock while the other writes to the hardware clock.

I'm tempted to add the old script to RHL 9.

But first, I'll ask if anyone's already looked at this?
