If you haven't already, install the ntp RPM.

Then make a script (I call mine syncdate) to go into /etc/cron.daily.
Here's mine:

#!/bin/sh
ntpdate -s harbor.ecn.purdue.edu && hwclock --systohc --utc

If your hardware clock is not set to UTC, leave off the "--utc"
option.

For a list of time servers you can use, consult

http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm

If you need closer synchronization that once a day, configure and
start the xntpd daemon from the ntp package.  See the man page for
detatils.
