clock/time

[tphan@asl.dl.nec.com (Timothy Phan)]

Hi,

  I'm having problem with the clock/time on my debian box.  Everytime,
  I bring up the system, the clock is always about 4 hours behind.
  I have to setup the time using "date -s hh:mm".  I'd like to know
  how to:
    1. setup the Debian to always read the time/date from the CMOS
       according.
    2. adjust the time periodicly if the system is up for a while.
       I've noticed that when the system stay up for long period of
       time, the clock slow down to like 3-4 hour in a 24 hours period.

  My system is setup to use CDT timezone.  Many thanks in advance.
