Thanks derek, Sridhar, and Sevatio! Looks like ntpdate is not installed by default either (and the daemon is not running) so I'll need to install either ntpdate or rdate off the CDs.
Should be no problem -- I've installed stuff before -- BTW: * My installation of Mandrake 9.0 went great (on two almost identical machines) and the most annoying bugs from Mozilla, konqueror, and kmail from 8.2 seem to have been solved! * I selected almost all the main "packages" (like Developer, Graphics Workstation, etc. -- I think the only exception was the server stuff), and then I specifically selected nedit, joe, and two other editors as individual packages -- I'm somewhat surprised a time synching utility was not included. (Aside, after I sent my first post I did a "locate date | grep bin" looking for evidence of a time synching utility -- didn't find anything.)
