[arm-allstar] I am new, and the time is wrong

[Doug Crompton]

Kip,

 Time is automatic in Hamvoip Allstar as long as you have Internet access.
Apparently you have some block there? Also the timezone is set as part of
the setup. I presume central time is accurate for you. There is no realtime
clock on the Pi. It depends on Internet access to set the time.
