NAME

6       tlsdate-helper - secure parasitic rdate replacement
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tlsdate-helper  host  port  protocol ca_racket verbose certdir setclock
10       showtime timewarp leapaway proxy-type://proxyhost:proxyport httpmode

DESCRIPTION

13       tlsdate-helper is a tool for setting the system clock  by  hand  or  by
14       communication with the network. It does not set the Real Time Clock. It
15       is designed to be as secure as TLS (RFC 2246) but of course  the  secu‐
16       rity  of  TLS  is  often  reduced to whichever CA racket you believe is
17       trustworthy. By default, tlsdate-helper trusts your local CA root store
18       -  so  any of these companies could assist in a MITM attack against you
19       and you'd be screwed.
20
21       The proxy argument expects HTTP, SOCKS4A or SOCKS5  formatted  as  fol‐
22       lowed:
23
24        http://127.0.0.1:8118
25        socks4a://127.0.0.1:9050
26        socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
27
28       This  tool is designed to be run by hand or as a system daemon. It must
29       be run as root or otherwise have the proper caps; it will not  be  able
30       to  set  the  system time without running as root or another privileged
31       user.
