Its built in.

vi /etc/ntp.conf

Set a valid time server

#check and see if its set to auto start
chkconfig --list | grep ntp
ntpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Above is on.

Lets say its not on.

chkconfig nptd on

# one time start of the service
service ntpd start

ntpq -p

See how its synching with the time server.

By searching in google "red hat ntp" you get a lot of results.

These are sufficient:

If you want some understading of ntp, beyond the setup steps, refer to this very useful site:

Yes, please do go after Keith's link, so that ntpd isn't just running, but also working flawless

:)

also look at pool.ntp.org for a set of well-maintained *and* public stratum 2/3 servers.
