Some years ago a friend gave me this script.  It was initially used to 
overcome a flaky motherboard which gained or lost as much as five 
minutes a day.  By having my root crontab run this every morning, at 
least the time was right once a day :)

#! /bin/bash
#####
# Set Date/Time from Net
#
# John Dierdorf
# Sun Apr 29 00:16:48 2001
#
# Note: Must be run as root.
#####

# Set the Linux clock (software) from the first time standard to respond.
netdate -l 0 ntp5.tamu.edu time.nist.gov

# If command successful, sync the hardware (BIOS) clock to Linux clock.
[ $? == 0 ] && hwclock -w
