There's also chrony:
Description: It sets your computer's clock from time servers on the Net.
It consists of a pair of programs :
`chronyd'. This is a daemon which runs in background on the
system. It obtains measurements (e.g. via the network) of the
system's offset relative to other systems, and adjusts the system
time accordingly. For isolated systems, the user can periodically
enter the correct time by hand (using `chronyc'). In either case,
`chronyd' determines the rate at which the computer gains or loses
time, and compensates for this.
`chronyc'. This is a command-line driven control and monitoring
program. An administrator can use this to fine-tune various
parameters within the daemon, add or delete servers etc whilst the
daemon is running.
I've been using it for over a year on a dial-up. Barely had to do
anything (set a password, choose a server). It just works. Nice.
