You can use ntp (network time protocol) if you can locate an ntp host to
hit.  FYI, polite society asks permission to hit someone's ntp server,
although traffic-wise it's an insignificant blip - I personally can't
imagine it being noticed.  Just passing along what Miss Manners told me.

  The package that's been in the news lately is xntp - it had a
theoretical vulnerability identified and fixed.
