    on Technical University near where i live they attached atomic clock time
    receiver (this signal is transmitted somewhere i don't know well this) to
    one of their suns, and it gives rdate and ntp protocol out.

    i use it on all my servers.

    of course - rsync may be imprecise because of TCP delays, but i don't need
    to have millisecond precision, precision below one minute is more than
    enough.
