<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.
