I use a utility called 'getdate', which can be found at:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/misc/getdate.tgz
A list of time-servers can be found at:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm
I run the following script periodically from cron:
getdate -adjust 2 120 ns.scruz.net
/sbin/clock -w
