NTP is a standard Linux utility.
/usr/sbin/ntpd
This should already be installed on your system. If not, just install it
via YaST.
Next you need to configure your /etc/ntp.conf
The only thing you would need to do is to add 2 server lines. I copied
mine. There is a web site that has a list of public time servers.
(http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html). If you are on the
east coast, then the two servers, below might be ok.

## Outside source of synchronized time

## server xx.xx.xx.xx # IP address of server
server 128.4.40.12 # louie.udel.edu
server 130.126.24.24 # ntp-0.cso.uiuc.edu
The next step is to use the YaST run level editor to turn on the ntp
daemon. Click on run level properties, then scroll to the bottom for
xntpd, and turn it on for run levesl 3 and 5.
