Also check into ntpdate or ntpd... ISTR that ntpd can use a local 
clock reference to keep the kernel clock in sync.  hwclock is not 
recommended because it causes a big discontinous jump in the system 
clock...  While ntpd gently nudges the clock in the right 
direction.... 
 
Theory only, I don't have a TC RTC to play with... But I will need 
it, so this is of great interest to me.
