ntpdate is dead and is discontinued. Use an actual daemon to govern your time source.

I thought redhat installed ntpd or chrony by default. I know chrony is the default for the next fedora release. If you have ntpd/chronyd installed your advice is horrible and not just because you pointed everyone to Virginia Tech's time server.

Thanks : Updated procedure (for Fedora without chronyd/ntpd running already) :

# yum install chrony

# systemctl enable chronyd.service

# systemctl start chronyd.service

Sorry if the (working) pointers before were horrible. Hopefully this is more useful - the servers used are {N}.fedora.pool.ntp.org.

chronyd is a lot more mindful of battery/power considerations than ntpd. It is an interesting approach to endpoint time synchronization compared to the ntp reference implementation.
