You should be able to get away with something as simple as:

# redhat-config-time
# chkconfig ntpd on
# service ntpd start

You'll need to make sure that you're actually synchronizing with:
# /usr/sbin/ntpq -pn

If your workstations are synchronizing to you, you need to make sure
that they're using ntp or turn on the simpler time services that some
clock sync apps use:
# chkconfig time on
# chkconfig daytime on
Both have udp variants (time-udp and daytime-udp) that you may need.  To
verify that these are running do:
# telnet localhost daytime

If you've got a firewall, you'll also need to make sure that these ports
make it through.
