time program

[utanja]

in redhat9 i was able to click on the time and date and get a screen which would allow me to update the system clock from The atomic clock in Bolder....

how can this be done in Slackware 9.1.....the radio button is there but i get
the following

Failed to locate a program for configuring the date and time. Perhaps none is installed?

if you searched for HTH (which is short for Hope This Helps) then try searching for a NTP utility

As Lynch said, you need NTP (Network Time Protocol). It comes on the Red Hat Cd's and I would assume that it is on your Slackware CD. It would be stupid of them to not include it. Most Linux distributions will include the majority of Open Source applications with their distribution.
