So you thought this matter was resolved forever, right?   Ugh...

Maintaining system scripts and it seems my predecessor was perfectly happy with /etc/bin/rdate -s $timeserver followed by /sbin/hwclock --systohc. Okay, fine. One asks about /usr/sbin/ntpdate -v $timeserver which I have used a long time. Come to find out that ntpdate [ is being | was ] phased out in favor of sntp. Why???

Worse, we run CentOS which has yet to encounter this changeover. Last year, I encountered this opportunity while administering many SUSE servers which spat at me if I tried to run ntpdate.

I'm leaving rdate in place for now.
