ntpdate is not supposed to be run all the time AFAIK, it's mainly here to allow synchronizing the clock manually (what the "Sync Now" button is time-admin does), and creating scripts to do that. On my box, syslog doesn't contain anything related to ntpdate... Can't you think of any package you may have installed? Does installing NTP via time-admin stop this?
