My new install of Debian 4.0 seems to have the wrong time, it says right
now:

Tue Aug 12 09:42:34 UTC 2008

but the correct time is:

Tue Aug 12 05:42:00 EST 2008

How can I set this? I want it set once and for all so even after
server reboot it shall still be correct.

I use one of two packages for this; ntpdate or ntp.

Also, type 'info date'.

Thanks,
Zach
