If you run the “date” command and see a date not far from Jan 1 2000 then you will need to set the date.
Update your Package List
opkg update
Get the ntp Package
opkg install ntp ntpdate
Remove the file that describes your local time
rm /etc/localtime
Add a symlink between the file that describes your timezone in the timezones folder to the localtime file.
If you do not live in the sydney nsw timezone you may need to look around in the /usr/share/zoneinfo folder for your timezone.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney /etc/localtime
Now we need to stop the ntpd service so we can request a manual update
/etc/init.d/ntpd stop
Now request the manual update
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
Confirm the correct time with the “date” command
Restart the ntp daemon with
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
ToDo
- Add insructions to start the service automatically on boot. If someone knows how to autostart an Angstrom Service please let me know.
Thanks for this helpful article. And can’t you write a script to do all these and put it in /etc/init.d (with no dots such as .sh in the name)? You also need to enable it at all runlevels with update-rc.d

You could write a script that does all these command, then write a service that calls that script at boot time. Here is a link on how to write a service http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45940/setting-up-boot-scripts-for-beaglebone-angstrom/49371#49371
