it's in the 2008 repos

try:
opkg install ntp
opkg install ntpclient

and that should install and configure everything

very similar to any other linux os - i've only used ubuntu previously,
and find it very easy to get around om2008. the repos could do with
more software included but otherwise there's little difference
