An alternative is ntpdate.  That'll set your clock according to a
server, rather than you doing so against your wristwatch.  You use it
with the name of a NTP server (see the man file for it).

e.g. ntpdate pool.ntp.org

NB:  It doesn't want to work while you've got an NTP server running on
the same box.  If you have, service ntpd stop, would stop it.  You could
then restart it, afterwards.
