It would obviously be nice if ntpdate output was as useful as openntpd output.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, you have fallen victim of the non-standard arguments used by ntpdate -v Be verbose. This option will cause ntpdate's version identifica- tion string to be logged. To get more information you actually want debug (-d). Also note that ntpdate is deprecated, please use sntp. Bernhard
