   My investigation:
   

   # busybox ntp
   ntp: applet not found

   In the output of busybox --help I see ntpd:
   

   # busybox ntpd --help
   
   Command line: busybox ntpd --help 
   
   BusyBox v1.18.4 (2012-03-14 03:32:25 CET) multi-call binary.
   
   Usage: ntpd [-dnqNwl] [-S PROG] [-p PEER]...
   
   NTP client/server
   
   Options:
   	-d	Verbose
   	-n	Do not daemonize
   	-q	Quit after clock is set
   	-N	Run at high priority
   	-w	Do not set time (only query peers), implies -n
   	-l	Run as server on port 123
   	-S PROG	Run PROG after stepping time, stratum change, and every 11 mins
   	-p PEER	Obtain time from PEER (may be repeated)

   See ya!

   @Aleksej

   thanks, one question
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# busybox ntpd -dnqp fr.pool.ntp.org

   tux@slitaz:~$ su
   Password:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# /home/tux# busybox ntpd -dnqp fr.pool.ntp.org
   sh: /home/tux#: not found
   root@slitaz:/home/tux#

   #1 - unsure what command I use and
   #2 - where to find the local npt to replace your "fr.pool.ntp.org"

   Oh man! ;)
   Looks like you're new to Linux.
   When you see next command:
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# busybox ntpd -dnqp fr.pool.ntp.org
   you want to understand that root@slitaz:/home/tux# is command line prompt, and busybox ntpd -dnqp fr.pool.ntp.org is actually a command. I just copy my terminal to my post. My prompt includes:

   • current user name: root
   • symbol @
   • machine name: slitaz
   • symbol :
   • current path: /home/tux
   • symbol # indicates root user, or symbol $ indicates unprevileged user

   For choosing your nearest ntp server go here: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

    busybox ntpd -dnqp 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org

    still unable to set correct date/time on my system, thoughts?

    Copy & paste your terminal here (Sakura terminal → select text (by hold left-mouse-nutton & drag over text, then release left-mouse-button) → switch to forum → press middle-mouse-button in text field (to paste selected text). Or attach screenshot.

    I have not any problems with your command.

    By the way, NTPD fetches date/time from high-class precision time servers and set your system clocks (system clock is not hardware clock). Do you properly set your timezone? (SliTaz menu → Settings → Time Zone configuration)

    That's why Bellard suggested hwclock -w -u because it sets the hardware clock with the system clock's time.

    Yes, there is two steps in Bellard's code:

    1. set system clocks from internet
    2. set hardware clocks from system clocks.

    Yes, I describe only first step, while second step is optional and unchanged.

    So, here combined command to set system clocks and hardware clocks from internet:
    

    busybox ntpd -dnqp north-america.pool.ntp.org && hwclock -w -u

    ... did you change the timezone to the right one? Go to Applications--> Preferences--> Time Zone Configuration

    You may need to install glibc-locale to get all the possible timezones.
