Well, do you need to run the daemon, which presumably allows others
to set their clock from your host, or do you just want to set the
date yourself, in which case I guess you don't need the daemon?
I just use netdate (client), it works great. If you want to sync
the clock at regular intervals (could be why you think you need
the daemon?) use a cron script.
