+According my reply to Colin, ntpd -g  does the same job than ntpdate.
+The option -g is now used by default in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd
+
+Perhaps a script "ntpdate" executing  `ntpd -g` could be useful?
+
+I have also a question about ntp-wait : I have read its code (perl) but I 
+don't understand what is its use.
