...."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"....
That was the part I had read... so your reference to the "new ntpdate" confused me. I now see what you mean.
But not all sources of time are ntp... So here is one idea to get folks jumping up and down.....
An alternate: set approximately the right time directly using the date command and using your wristwatch as a time source (of course my wristwatch is within 30 seconds or so of the NTP time on my server). Then, configure and run ntpd. <grin>
