OK,
So what you people say is :
- Run "ntpdate" during startup only once
- After that, keep time with ntpd
Right ?
When running ntpd don't run ntpdate at startup, or any time. Use one or the other, not both (if you incorrectly use both, ntpdate will throw off drift calculations in ntpd). This is the proper setup for bare metal hosts.
The usual setup is to do exactly that though - ntpdate (now sntp) at startup to make sure the initial setting is reasonable, then ntpd to keep it in sync.
