I checked my system, and /etc/ntp/step-tickers doesn't
exist, even though "rpm -ql xntp3" shows it. I tried
removing the xntp3 RPM and reinstalling, but that file
still doesn't exist. /etc/rc.d/init.d/xntpd doesn't
execute the above ntpdate command if that file doesn't exist.

Running ntpdate with the "-u" option causes ntpdate to
display its usage line, which doesn't show the "-u" option.
I'm using the xntp3 RPM from Red Hat Linux 6.2
(xntp3-5.93-14).
