I run ntpd on one network machine, and use ntpdate to sync to the timeserver via a cron job every two hours. You can add an entry to /etc/crontab that looks similar to: 30 */2 * * * root /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u your.server.here > /dev/null The above entry syncs the time every 2 hours on the half hour. No mail is sent unless there is a problem.
