TLSDATE(1) User Manuals TLSDATE(1) NAME tlsdate-helper - secure parasitic rdate replacement SYNOPSIS tlsdate-helper host port protocol ca_racket verbose certdir setclock show- time timewarp leapaway proxy-type://proxyhost:proxyport httpmode DESCRIPTION tlsdate-helper is a tool for setting the system clock by hand or by commu- nication with the network. It does not set the Real Time Clock. It is de- signed to be as secure as TLS (RFC 2246) but of course the security of TLS is often reduced to whichever CA racket you believe is trustworthy. By de- fault, tlsdate-helper trusts your local CA root store - so any of these companies could assist in a MITM attack against you and you'd be screwed. The proxy argument expects HTTP, SOCKS4A or SOCKS5 formatted as followed: http://127.0.0.1:8118 socks4a://127.0.0.1:9050 socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 This tool is designed to be run by hand or as a system daemon. It must be run as root or otherwise have the proper caps; it will not be able to set the system time without running as root or another privileged user. BUGS It's likely! Let us know by contacting jacob@appelbaum.net Note that tlsdate(1) is in Beta, and may not work as expected.
