I run ntpdate at boot through a script/service I wrote. Short term this works fine, but a daily or maybe weekly cron job would probably be a good idea also. For now, I want to let my BBB run for a good long while and see how far off the time gets.
Someone had also suggested to me perhaps using a GPS module as I am told these keep time and very accurately. But this is something I will consider at a later date( and have not really looked into it ).
