rdate ist not a replacement for ntpdate - it does not use the ntp

rdate also supports the ntp protocol. From the man page:
-n Use SNTP (RFC 2030) instead of the RFC 868 time protocol.
And JFYI, since Lenny Debian Installer uses rdate to update the system
time during installs (rdate -o 123 -nvv "$server") and we've not seen any
issues with that.
Something seems seriously wrong with rdate, or how I'm using it...
