4.8-RELEASE-p13 -and- ntpd

[nw1]

After reading further, we've retired ntpdate from this network.  Our issue may have been
the order in which we ran ntpdate and xntpd within /etc/rc.conf ; subsequently (post
reboot) immediately trying to run 'ntpdate xxx.xxx.x.x' would fail (as we posted on
http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/ntpd/ntpd_issue-1.txt).

We're not going to break it again in order to find out what went wrong.  We are now
'ntpdate' *free*.  We invite any and everyone else to do the same -- voluntarily retire
'ntpdate'.

Thanks for your feedback.
