Is there a tool which can be utilized to communicate with a time
server so that can correct local time? Thanks in advance!

% man ntpd

Under *BSD, there is a daemon called ntpd.

Not *just* *BSD. About the only platform lacking it is that non-unix
contraption from the dark hills of redmond. Not that it can keep the
time at all, with its 18.2 ticks per second software resolution...
(Now that xp has built in (s)ntp support, I've seen it claim stratum
3 while two minutes off. Needless to say I'm not using _that_ again.)
