not on my system :-
[anadin@wzc /]$ ntpdate ntp.pipex.net
bash: ntpdate: command not found
[anadin@wzc /]$ su
Password:
[root@wzc /]# ntpdate ntp.pipex.net
18 Apr 14:05:01 ntpdate[14242]: adjust time server 158.43.128.33 offset
0.173333 sec
[root@wzc /]#
and here's why. As there is no point to a user running ntpdate, this and
other non-user programs live in /usr/sbin and not in the path of a normal
user, they are however in the path of root.
Doesn't everyone run there system this way?

shouldn't matter - if the program is there, it'll run, but will warn you
that it can't set the time.
