You might check for the commands "rdate" or "netdate" -- both will get
the time from another machine.  On our PC's with linux, we further
need to use the "clock" or "hwclock" commands to set the hardware
clock to match the system clock.  We run these out of a cron job every
so often, and only run ntpd on one computer in the network.
