The following script does not work in my server.
I removed the switches: -u -b -s and then it works fine.
I would therefore urge you to remove those switches in
the init script. They are just bugs waiting to be
squashed.
Versions of the packages ntpdate depends on:
ii debconf 1.0.25 Debian configuration management system
ii libc6 2.2.5-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii libreadline4 4.2a-4 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time

I think we determined that the current set of flags is OK for most uses,
but depending on the firewall configuration you may need to make some
adjustments.
