Hi,

In the past I've used htpdate to synchronize my computer's clock. But
I would like to know what daemon would you recommend me. I'm searching
for a lightweight option.

Thanks in advance,
Damian.

I use net-misc/ntp and it seems to work fine.

ntp is a 'standard' ntp set-up. It needs some configuration work to get
it running properly, though it works more or less 'out of the box'.

openntpd is a simplified ntp. It is very easy to set up, but has less
possibilities than the 'standard' ntp.

Both packages are lightweight, with very low system overhead.
