Not that I've tried it with Mandrake, but I've found a little script that I use on my debian box at work. Do a search for "nist.pl"--or you might try this link: http://cantonlinux.org/pipermail/user/2003-May/001279.html You'll have to edit the script by hand, to set your timezone and server, but it's pretty straight forward and well commented. The only problem that I've had with it is, if the network is unavailable for some reason, it sets the system time to a semi-random value... Not much of a problem, when you run it by hand, but I like to have it in my crontab... Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge/experience/interest in perl, or I'd put in a few sanity checks...
