I wasn't referring to that; you must have missed the context of my
comment, the quote from the website.
Re accepting the wrong answer, ntpd would be as bad if you configured
only one server. ntpdate can be given multiple servers too, and will
query them all and attempt some sanity checking. I don't know if it's
as good as ntpd, however, and I agree that using ntpd is the preferred
approach.
