Synchronizing the time on all machines on the same network is incredibly useful and very simple. The Network Time Protocol daemon (ntpd) does all of the dirty work for you. If you have DNS configured and are connected to the Internet, you can synchronize with an external NTP master server or you can set up your own local master server and synchronize all of your machines to it. In the latter case, you'll only need to monitor the master system for reasonably accurate time.
