How can I set my Novell server to sync time with another server, example (Navy server). Is there a Novell command or setting that will do this?

You can use NTP. All it takes is a connection to the internet, just verify that port 123 is not blocked by a firewall or so.

In Monitor, under Server Parameters, then Time, you can find the proper parameters. Make sure you have "Use Configured Sources"=on, and in the list of configured sources put the IP address of the server you wish to use as a source. The format is xx.xx.xx.xx:123

There are a few sites that offer a list of time servers, this is an example:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm

Once you have set the correct parameters, reset timesync using either the options in the list in monitor, or type "set timesunc reset=on" on the console.

If you type "set timesync debug=7" (=0 to close it again) you get a screen on which you can monitor which server (or IP address) is polled, and if it was successful or not.
