I think you are getting things mixed up a little, one can use programs like;
rdate
netdate
To syncronise your system with a time server on the internet, as in.
rdate -s <remote-host-name>
netdate <remote-host-name>
One then uses the clock program to write the system time to the CMOS clock.
clock -w
A simple script run via cron once a day will keep your time in sync with
the rest of the world.
#!/bin/sh
# I am called rc.time, place me in /etc/rc.d
rdate -s <remote-host-name>
clock -w
# thats it.
Edit your crontab (root is normally the only one allowd to alter the clocks)
So edit roots crontab to find /etc/rc.d/rc.time and away you go.
