Check out the NTP packages. Do a package search on 'ntp'.

I installed the NTP packages and without configuring anything it just
worked. (Ubuntu Server? That's what I used it with most recently.)

I'm not sure exactly which NTP package did it. I installed them figuring
I could get one of them to work, and something started working
automatically.

Cheers,
