rdate which talks to the time server (port 37 - internal to inetd) on a
remote host and show's the time remote, or with '-s', sets the local time to
match the remote time. Also xntpd which is a daemon that will constantly
keep you insync with a world wide network of atmomic clocks. The latter is
much cooler although you'll prolly need to do a bit of a web search to find
a suitable ntp server for your box to talk to. Alot of time servers will
offer both time and ntp services.
