Searching for ``xntp'' should give you many references. It is also
avalable as a Debian package on the latest CD. (It may also be on
older CDs, but I can't check).
debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/net/xntp3-doc_5.93-2.deb
debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/net/xntp3_5.93-2.deb
xntp may be an overkill. If all you want to do is sych your local
clock to that of your ISP once or twice a day, have a look at
``netdate'' which should be part of the base system. Ask your
admin/ISP for the name or IP addr of a system you can get the time
from (It does not have to run a special server for netdate).
man netdate
This will align your clock with the ISP's system:
netdate -l 30 udp host.yourdomain.za}
