An easier way than installing daemons and goodness what knows else is to install xntp (you'll find a package via rpmfind) and then, as root, type ntpdate ntp0.strath.ac.uk That NTP server, and its University of Strathclyde sister at ntp1.strath.ac.uk, have rarely let me down :) There are other ones, such as ntpx.ncl.ac.uk (x=0,1,2 or 3 - University of Newcastle) and ntp2x.mcc.ac.uk (x=a,b,c or d - University of Manchester). Unfortunately most of the lists of NTP servers are out of date, but these ones all work.
