Download the package : http://merlin1991.at/~christian/harm....0-1_armel.deb

install it using filebox,

use "rdate -n some.ntp.server" in terminal to sync time with some ntp server

Well done pointing to this. Everything, including a desktop shortcut and icon is here: http://merlin1991.at/~christian/harmattan/openrdate/

This + Profilematic = daily time check.

...or just use OpenNTPD from Store...

Re: Open rdate, NTP for N9
 

Can you post a link to this one? At my end store search returns no results.

Is this the right Link to the daemon?

Re: Open rdate, NTP for N9
 

To install OpenNTPD from the store was easy enough for me :)
But how can I use it?

Must "Time and language > Time and date > Automatic time update" be set to 'on' or to 'off' in order to use openntpd?

Where can I set which ntp servers to use?

@amigo
You don't have to do anything. Check if there is a process ntp running. Your time will automatically updated.

Is it freesoftware or opensource ?

Re: Open rdate, NTP for N9
 

So this seems to be ok.
I have the "Automatic time update" option in the settings set to off. I assume it might activate the carrier's time sync update mechanism additonally, and that might change the time set by ntp.

By the way, will the time be acquired from the gps satellites too? Or from the supl servers?
