The following URL's are also helpful :

http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/time.html

You can also sync your hardware clock (the one in your bios) and the software clock as follows :

"hwclock --systohc" (system clock -> hardware clock)
"hwclock --hctosys" (hardware clock -> system clock)

hwclock

If you want your computer to keep accurate time I suggest that you take a look at hwclock.
man hwclock
