Getting Linux to Time Sync

Can anyone tell me how to setup time sync on a Redhat 7.2 server? I am going to run a CVS server on this box and the system time needs to be as acurate as possible. I have a solution fo the Windows Clients, just not sure how to setup Linux. TIA
There's an all-in-one solution for time syncing called ntpd. It's part of the ntp suite, a rather large collection of various progs dealing with time syncing. Your distrib may offer it pre-packaged for you (as it's quite popular), or you can find it on www.ntp.org
A much more light-weight solution is clockspeed. If used properly, clockspeed can give the same (perfect) results as ntpd, but it requires some administration effort. Check it out at http://cr.yp.to/clockspeed.html
