Time Sync v5r3

["Doug Hart" <DougHart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been setting up the new time sync (NTP) on my systems and partitions
as each gets upgraded to v5r3.
Now I hit my oldest box a small 170.  This hardware will not work with the
v5r3 time feature.  It seems I can set the software clock BUT not the
hardware clock.  I found an IBM Technote (#86256E0F00681558) entitled
"Synchronization of the IBM iSeries Hardware Clock (QTIME) with the Software
Clock That Exists on the Same System".  This uses Management Central to
setup and run.  I have had no luck getting the time correct and would rather
not use iSeries Access to run this.

Does anyone have a better method setting the hardware clock from the
software clock?
