put rdate on it.
http://www.cnunix.com/ftp/linux/rdate-1.2.tar.gz
cd date-1.2
make
make install
open /etc/rc.d/rc.local
add the following as the last line
/usr/sbin/rdate -s clock-1.cs.cmu.edu
This will reset your clock on boot

put this file (ntp.auto) in /etc/cron.daily
#========== file ntp.auto ===========
# set my clock about 4:00 am
/usr/sbin/rdate -s clock-1.cs.cmu.edu
#============= end ==============
This will reset your clock at 4:00 AM

Works on RaQ2 should work on a RaQ1
