Mark,

    There is a utility called ntp which will synchronize your clock to a
time server. It will also tweak your system clock and make it very
accurate. As your clock becomes more accurate, the traffic that NTP
generates (which is never very great to begin with) will slow down. The
hard part is getting NTP configured in the first place.

I use clock1.redhat.com as my time server.

Jeff
