The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains  the  system time of day in synchronism with Internet standard time servers.

Do the following if you  want to use the ntp daemon to synchronize the time with a public timeserver:

Install ntp (as root):

# yum install ntp ntpdate

if you want ntpd to start at boot time:

# chkconfig ntpd on

Synchronize the timewith ntpdate:

# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
 9 Apr 17:33:39 ntpdate[4736]: step time server 192.33.214.47 offset 84.859874 sec

Fedora 12 comes with a working /etc/ntp.conf. If your /etc/ntp.conf is not properly configured, here is the default F12 ntp.conf:

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift

restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery

restrict 127.0.0.1 
restrict -6 ::1

server 0.fedora.pool.ntp.org
server 1.fedora.pool.ntp.org
server 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org

includefile /etc/ntp/crypto/pw

keys /etc/ntp/keys

Now start ntpd:

 
# service ntpd start
