Someone can tell me the commands to set date and time under command line ?

Just setup a NTP server in the webmin.
(the unix command is 'date', but it's a pain, and won't set the hardware clock. IIRC, 'clock' will.)

How would one do this if you want ntp pointed at a pool of servers such as 0.pool.ntp.org?
If you define a definition it wants a name/IP match, but you don't necessarily have an IP match because it's a pool of machines.

Just set the NTP server to use an address like "us.pool.ntp.org". The DNS resolution will take care of the round-robin resolving like it should. It works, I use it on mine.

Actually - to directly answer your question - create a DNS hostname instead of a host. That will let you put a hostname in the definition box.

If it's a pool of machines, assigned via round-robin DNS, select the multiple DNS hostname option.. it's tweaked to work with Round Robin.
