Raspberry Pi - check date - it seems time servers are unavailable

[davidpbrown]

Found a couple of my RPi dates badly off and the alt-coin daemons don't like it and then don't work properly.

It seems the simple setting of the international time zone in raspi-config, only suggests what to look for from time servers but I guess those servers are still getting ddos.

If date is wrong then, set with the format
date -s "3 Nov 2013 10:18:00"

I don't know, if restarting the daemons is required but perhaps safe in case they've stopped themselves because of this.
