Assuming you're in the eastern timezone since you're at OSU,
and that you have SLS installed, you have what you need already:
cd /usr/lib/zoneinfo
ln -s US/Eastern localtime
There's no man page for it in SLS :-( but if you do a clock -?
you'll see......
clock [-u] -r|w|s
r - read and print CMOS clock
w - write CMOS clock from system time
s - set system time from CMOS clock
u - CMOS clock is in universal time
What I did was set the date with 'date'...then set the CMOS
clock with 'clock -w'. When I boot, my /etc/rc.local does
a '/etc/clock -s'
