[Mageia-dev] Why ntpdate still there?

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.
