You're right. I honestly don't remember when I first found a server host
address that I've now used for years with rdate:

time-b.nist.gov

However, you may as well figure out how to set your system up with ntp.
Then you can just forget all of this, and your clock will always be
correct.

http://www.pool.ntp.org/

PS: You probably also have an ntpdate command.
