As root, run "date 0755" (if you want 7:55) or whatever is approximately the correct time you run the command at. See "man date" for details on the format to be supplied. If I remember correctly, the older ntpdate command would only change the system time up to a certain threshold, "adjust" it, and you needed to manually set the time "near" the real time, or supply a specific flag for a "bigger" system time change. Today's ntpd should handle this fine. PS.
