it doesn't seem to actually change the system time, as far as I can

rdate has a broken source link in the recipe. 
http://directory.fsf.org/project/rdate/ looks like a recent place to go 
from to fix the recipe, but the recipe doesn't have a Description and I 
don't grok rdate yet, so I'm not going to update that recipe today.
