sudo yum install ntp
To make the ntpd start at boot time, use this commands:
sudo chkconfig ntpd on
After installation, edit the default ntp configuration:
sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf
Commented out/remove the default CentOS servers,you can add your own time-servers here to synchronize with, http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe or http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/north-america lists:
After you are done with the configuration, just start the ntp service:
sudo service ntpd start
To check if the NTP service is synchronizing:
sudo ntpq -pn
To check the synchronization log:
sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

Hope this will help you!
