You should be able to get ntp working, too.

In a properly setup system ntp changes your clock slowly so it does not
jump to keep up with correct time.  You dont' need any crontab entry for
it.  As long as ntpd is running there should be constant small
adjustments to the clock's speed - fractions of a second changes.  

ntpq -p will tell you how things are doing in that area.
