Another program is chrony. It is intended for machines that have
intermittant connections to the Internet, e.g. home dial-up machines. ntp
is more for machines having a constant Net connection. ntp will work with
intermittant connection, too. chrony tries to keep track of clock drift
when offline and compensate. chrony doesn't have all the other features
of ntp, but it works great for its intended use.
My only "gripe" is that chrony and ntpdate conflict. ntpdate is handy for
setting your clock if it way off. Then either ntp or chrony keeps in in
sync.
