OK,
So what you people say is :
- Run "ntpdate" during startup only once
- After that, keep time with ntpd
Right ?
Right, that ensures that time is correct (ntpdate run at startup) and that it is kept correct without the clock going back (ntp running as daemon).
This is not correct. You're assuming that ntpd doesn't perform sanity checks on the system time when the daemon starts, which is not the case.
The sanity check may be disabled with -g in which case using ntpdate/sntp/ntpd -q at start up becomes pointless.
