I suggest that you have some NTP server always available for the rest of 
the machines on your network, so that all of them can keep the correct 
time. In this case, if this is an important server, then it may as well be 
the time server too. :-) But even if you don't use this machine to serve 
the time to others, running "ntpd" (the Network Time Protocol Daemon) on it 
will keep its clock perfectly synchronized to the correct time. And after a 
day or two, ntpd will also adjust how fast your computer's clock runs so it 
does not waver.

It is not difficult to set up, but you can post to this list if you have 
any problems.
