Do a freshmeat.net search on a program called ntpdate
download and untar it putting the executable in /usr/local/bin
then add the following line (via crontab -e)
5 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,0 * * * /usr/local/bin/ntpdate 130.126.24.44
This will check the secondary time server at 130.126.24.44 every 3 hours
at 5 mins after.
Works well for me on a couple of machines.
Hope this helps.
