Hi all,

I have a dev Linux box running Redhat 9 on my home LAN and I noticed that
the clock has drifted and is now 10 minutes behind.
Instead of simply resetting it, I'd like this box to sync with a time
server. I was reading about ntpd, but this seems to be a way to set up a
machine to be a time server, which is not what I want. It also looks to be
way more work than I want to get into.

What is the best way to simply sync with a time server once per day. Is
there a program I can run in a cron job?

Also, what time servers are best to use. The only one listed in my
ntp.conf is clock.redhat.com. Not that I don't like Redhat, I just would
like a couple more.

I don't have X running on this box, since I only SSH into it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
