date doesn't work as expexcted after reading the man page.
In order to set the date you need to do:
$ date <date in some weird format>
The command:
$ date --set=<date in some weird format>
doesn't appear to work.
For example look at this session:
address@hidden:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date 0426172006
Qua Abr 26 17:20:00 WEST 2006
address@hidden:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date --set=0426172006
date: invalid date `0426172006'
address@hidden:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date --set="0426172006"
date: invalid date `0426172006'
The first command syntax (the only that actually work) isn't
documented in the man page.
It's quite puzzling!
