As with most things in Linux, there's several ways to take
charge of this. Here's how i do it.
In bashrc I've created an alias to save typing and remembering
this time URL, alias tdate="rdate -sp time.nist.gov"
When I type 'tdate' in a terminal while connected to the Net, my
system clock is set to the correct time. If I then believe the
hardware clock (bios) needs to also be reset, I'll type
'hwclock --systohc' which "Set[s] the Hardware Clock to the
current System Time. See 'man hwclock'
