+<PRE>ntpdate is no longer necessary because ntpd includes all functions necessary
+to set the clock.
+
+Use of ntpdate in crontab is a very bad idea because a great number of users
+can make a burst of activity and a saturation of servers.
+ntpd is more accurate with few requests and can also setup the clock.
+ntpd makes requests after a long time. More the clock is adjusted, more it
+waits before a new request.
+
+
+In man ntpdate, we can see:
+ Disclaimer: The functionality of this program is now available in the ntpd
+program. See the -q command line option in the ntpd - Network Time Protocol
+(NTP) daemon page. After a suitable period of mourning, the ntpdate program
+is to be retired from this distribution.
+
+ntpdate and ntp are active in drakxservices... IMO, this is a nonsense.
