You may consider using NTP or rdate (found in the netstd package).

Description: Network Time Protocol clients and server
 The Network Time Protocol allows for the synchronization of clocks on
 networked computers.  The xntpd daemon implements NTP, allowing Unix
 systems to participate in this synchronization.
 .
 NTP was designed with attention to details which might introduce
 systematic bias into the computations, and the protocol is capable of
 synchronizing with even the most precise external time sources.
 .
 The NTP protocol supported by xntpd is defined in RFC's 1059, 1119, and
 1305 for versions 1, 2, and 3, respectively.  For more information on how
 NTP works, and how to configure a campus of xntpd daemons, load the optional
 Debian package 'xntp3-doc'.
