Because ntpdate sets clock by jump (settimeofday), not by slow synchronization (adjtime). And why I suggest removing the call at all? Suppose this: Somebody have ntp server installed and ntpdate has only to be run on startup. If he upgrades ntpdate, ntp server might get confused when some other program touches system time. -- Marcel Sebek
