    Some servers don't have access to ntp server, any downsides to setting the time like this regularly?
    cat  server_list.parm | while read server; do
TIME=`date | awk '{print $4}'`
CMD="date +%T -s "$TIME""
ssh -n [EMAIL="root@$server"]root@$server[/EMAIL] "$CMD"
done

    Well....The time taken to exchange keys etc. would skew things.

    I'm sure it would be fine 99% of the time.

    Why not setup one of the machines that do have net access to act as an NTP server? Assuming the other machines can access this box locally, job done.
    It's always best to use NTP unless you have no other means.
