You should be running ntpd, not using ntpdate.  ntpdate is just for
gross corrections at bootup.  Using it *after* booting will likely break
things at mysterious times, like make builds.  ntpd knows how to "drift"
the time clock slightly faster or slower so that time never goes
backwards or skips grossly forwards.
