We do, a template, all commented out, and does not work for
machines behind strong firewalls that wont allow ntp out
to the net but have internal ntp servers that are used for
such things.

Well maybe not all commented out, I think it defaults to
some public pools.  I believe it would be missing iburst
for use with ntp -pg

Does ntpdate work out of the box in such environments?  If so, how?

ntpdate time.nist.gov

ntpdate does not need a configureration file, just a command
line argument.



The point of this thread was which option the installer should use to
implement 'set the correct time on first boot'.

 The main point yes.
I guess that I'll revert my commit and open a review which removes ntpd_sync_on_start and always add -g to rc_flags and people could argument there.

We are not talking about removing ntpdate in this thread.

Well, after Ian said that it was deprecated I ask if we should remove it to be honest.
