Just to get the answer on this (sub) thread as well, the default invocation of sntp does this. Please see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate for the complete list of how to get the functionality of "old" ntpdate from the "new" tools. If something is missing, please add it to the section titled "Currently Missing Features" or email me and I'll add it.
