Exactly. Surf over to http://www.ntp.org and follow the links to download (binaries or source), install, and configure.
If it were me doing it, I'd probably setup an existing local non-RAC Internet-connected server (if available) with ntp to sync to an external stratum-2 server (see ntp docs for definition of "stratum-2") over the Internet, then have ntp on the RAC nodes use that local box as their ntp server. Then again, I don't do this much...

It seams I came across a case where select sysdate from dual; produced two different values. Thanks!
