No. The above line goes into your root's crontab file and you get it
there by entering the following command as root:
crontab -e
That will bring up the current root crontab file. Add the line to it and
save the file. At the next 15 minute interval the rdate will be executed.
Why not use ntp (Network Time Protocol) instead?
