================================================
Also, if you don't want to fuss with starting
another daemon and configuring various files...
you can run "ntpdate hostname" where hostname
is the name of the NTP server to which you are
connecting. Call me lazy, but I just set up this
command to run from cron once a day, say 3:00am.
