When using OAuth 1.0a, it requires timestamp for authentication. The followings are the example of shell commands which can set time information.

 

Setup timezone

To set the timezone of your system clock do the following:

# rm -rf /etc/localtime

# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Seoul /etc/localtime

 

Set hardware time

The hardware clock is the clock that runs in you PC hardware even if you disconnect it from the main power supply. This is because it has a lithium battery in the modern computers and another type of battery in the old ones.

# hwclock --set --date="2012-04-19 16:45:05" –localtime

# hwclock –show

 

Setup NTP

To install NTP for automatic time setting:

# yum install ntp ntpdate ntp-doc

 

One more a thing you need to make system to run ntpd automatically, you should run below command:

# chkconfig ntpd on
