On my machines, the master rsync server does a sync at 3am.
The rest of the machines sync with the master server at 4am.

This way there's no timing problems.

I run ntpd on ALL my machines (If you want to get fancy, you could setup
your rsync server to also be a local NTP master server and have the other
machines sync their clocks with this server too - makes even more sense
if you use NFS).
