Hi, I looked in the archives and to update my console clock the

This is a bit unclear. do you have the command or not ?
it should be located in /usr/sbin, so trying it out as user will
usually fail.
If you find it, try as root :
#> ntpdate pool.ntp.org
This will try to read the time on a server over using UDP with port
123, so
that port should be opened outbound in your firewall.
if you install the debian package, ntpdate will do this during each
boot.
So if you are like most people and reboot regularly, your system
should stay
quite on time.
Cheers,
Ernest.

or just cron it to happen on a regular basis (hourly...). I for one
don't reboot unless there is a kernel upgrade/patch and my clocks
need to stay sync'ed for Kerberos to function properly.
And an FYI

Package ntpdate is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ntpdate has no installation candidate
my sources are as follows:
deb http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/ testing main contrib non-free
