I would use:
10 01 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u -b -s ntpserver.domain.com

You should install ntp but it works pretty well and there are many ntp servers 
on the internet.

You can do that using two ways:
The two ways are from root console:
===== 1 =====

# crontab -e

(You edit the cron file... and exit, your cron is installed.)

===== 2 =====
# vi /etc/crontab
(You edit the cron file... and exit.)
# crontab /etc/crontab
(know your cron is installed)

======================

You can see what is running in your cron using "crontab -l" (also from root)

Remember to run "crontab -l" if you edited the file with vi (or your preferred 
editor) or your cron daemon won't read the new file ;-)
