I've never used ntptimeset before. Typically I have ntpd running (from
the ntp-simple package) and I use ntpdate if I want to set the time by
hand. To use ntpdate you need to know the name of your time
server. Use 'ntpdate -q my.time.server' to query, and 'ntpdate
my.time.server' to set. Run ntpd and it will do this for you
continuously.
Here are the packages I use on my Woody box:
~$ dpkg -l '*ntp*' | grep ^i
ii ntp 4.1.0-8 Daemon and utilities for full NTP v4 timekee
ii ntp-doc 4.1.0-8 HTML documentation for the ntp and ntpdate p
ii ntp-simple 4.1.0-8 NTP v4 daemon for simple systems.
ii ntpdate 4.1.0-8 The ntpdate client for setting system time f
