I have an old source rpm here that I got from the contrib directory at the 
Red Hat ftp site. (netdate-1.16-6.src.rpm)

You can set the system clock with telnet as well, however.

A cron job that runs the following should do it:
telnet time-a.nist.gov 13 |grep UTC |cut -b16-23 | xargs date -u -s

netdate's probably a lot less cryptic, though. :)
