Up to now I've used only the line 
ntpdate_enable="YES"
and it's been enough to keep the clock sane. On the last reboot
it appears ntpdate either didn't run or failed silently. The most
obvious suspect is a wireless ethernet bridge that might be saying
it's up before the access point is responsive.

I'll have to do a few test reboots when the machine becomes idle.
I know ntpdate works sometimes, but perhaps not always.  

Thanks for writing,
