One more suggestion: try ntpdate, a daemonless version of NTP. It will not
abruptly change the system time like rdate if the local clock is off by a
large amount, so it is kinder to cron and other processes that depend on the
clock not skipping large blocks of time. Syntax is 'ntpdate <server>'. I
recomment the server 'time.five-ten-sg.com', which I determined to be the
closest (using netselect) from a list of likely cantidates on the public NTP
server list in the NTP FAQ.
