linux clock slow

on both my home machine and my dedicated server (RH 8.0), the clock slows gradually over time (a minute or two per week?). this ranges from annoying to bad, depending on the application, and i'm trying to figure out how to fix the problem.

a google search seems to point to ntpd - are there any security issues to watch out for when using this utility? i'd rather keep as few programs running on my box as possible...
