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:

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...

HTH,
