I've been using the SETTIME utility for a long time now, but most recently noted that it no longer succeeds connecting to numerous official time servers on port-13. This is a standard DAYTIME protocol port.
In my case I've been using time.nist.gov, and sure enough looking up their published info while they state that DAYTIME protocol is still supported, they also ecourage folks to switch away and move to some of the more robust protocols.
OK, so therein lies the difficulty: what other time-set utils do we have that actually work for us?
Thanks!
