Netdates should work it it still can be found. I had it on my old
distribution, but can't seem to find it in the regular net places
on sunsite, and it's not in redhat.
netdate takes one or more hosts and sets your system clock based
on a mutual agreement of those hosts. And, there are two atomic
clocks on the net as well:
tick.usno.navy.mil and tock.usno.navy.mil.
There may be others. If you telnet to either on port 13, you'll
see what time it is.
