-      <para>Remember to set the server date correctly according to the time zone of which the main part of the users of the system are located. This will affect e.g. when scheduled tasks are executed. For instance, to the set time to 22:45, October 17, 2012, invoke <command>sudo date 101722452012</command>.</para>
