   I think you can get a daemon that synchronizes
   clocks for you.  

There's a protocl known as "NTP" (Network Time Protocol); and there's
an implementation of NTP which runs under BSD4.3 UNIX; however, I'm
not sure where the "official sources" are.  It should run unmodified
on SR10, but I haven't tried it yet.

   If not, it would be pretty easy to write.  You need
   one or more central nodes, preferably with a WWV clock, running a time
   of day server.  There's an RFC out on this (don't know the number).

RFC958 documents the protocol; RFC957 and 956 are related RFC's.
