I have no knowlage iof those programs However;;
Slackware comes with 'rdate' so there was no real need to get another
program to get the date from a remote server.
rdate -s server.name
after getting the time from the remote server you can then syncronise the
cmos clock with;
clock -w
You possably want to sync the clock everyday or even 2 or 3 times a day.
The best way is to create a script;
#!/bin/sh
# Call it rc.time and place it in /etc/rc.d
#
# Set the system time from a remote server.
/usr/bin/rdate -s server.name
sleep 3
clock -w
# done
Change permissions of the file with;
chmod a+x /etc/rc.d/rc.time
Use crond to do all the work for you, i belive the example given underneath
should work ok for you.
Edit crontab with;
crontab -e
add
0 */12 * * * /etc/rc.d/rc.time 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null
restart the crond process.
All done.
