>Description:
Today I experienced a little problem with the script
  /etc/rc.d/ntpdate
When I started that script from root's crontab, the script did not find the ntpdate-program, although its full path is mentioned in the file
  /etc/defaults/rc.conf

I hope, I did not misinterpret something...

For further information see, please:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/etc/rc.d/ntpdate?rev=1.9.2.1&content-type=text/plain
>How-To-Repeat:
put
  * * * * * /etc/rc.d/ntpdate start
into root's crontab (at least on my machine; maybe I misconfigured something...)
>Fix:
In
  /etc/rc.d/ntpdate
substitute
  ntpdate_command
by
  ntpdate_program

I tested it and it works fine...
