If you are going to be using rdate (which I think is fine for nearly
all setups, unless sub-second synchronization is needed) then something
like this in /etc/inetd.conf is what you want:
time stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.timed
time dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd in.timed
The server is "/usr/sbin/in.timed" in this case.
I hear that modern Redhat versions use /etc/xinetd.conf instead of
the above, so it could be slightly different.
Please ask if you need more details.
