    Problems with the 5.x branch should be directed to the freebsd-current
    mail-list. Rumor has it, 5.3 will be deemed stable.

    Run ntpd. Pretty much just need two files; /etc/ntp.conf and
    /etc/ntp.drift.

    ntp.conf lists the driftfile and the upstream time source.
    example ntp.conf
    server some.ntpserver.com
    driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

    Your local ISP should have an ntp server that you can get the correct
    time from. Otherwise there is a list of public stratum 2 ntp servers
    available at: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html

    Might want to use ntpdate to get your time synched up before running ntpd.

    And of course you'll want to read the manpages. :)
