Set the clock to the right time over the internet?

English Applications
#1

On Ubuntu my clock always stayed right on time, but on openSUSE it is a little off. I assume this is because Ubuntu kept it up to date with the internet. Is it possible to do the same with openSUSE? If so, How?

#2

go to YaST -> Network Services -> NTP Configuration

<rant> Yes… you can do this by going to yast and setting up ntp, but
I just want to rag on Ubunutu’s setup everything attitude. It’s
a VERY insecure thing to setup network based services without
saying “mother may I”. Big minus points for Ubuntu… the insecure
solution. <end rant>

Thank you for telling me how to set up ntp. I know it could be a security issue. I was not saying Ubuntu’s way was better, I was merely saying that I knew it was possible. Thank you for telling me how.
