Quite correct. But is there any reason ntpd will not start after ntpdate has
run? This would seem to be the case from rc.network.

    :
    :
network_pass2() {
        echo -n 'Doing additional network setup:'
        case ${named_enable} in
        [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                echo -n ' named';       ${named_program:-named} ${named_flags}
                ;;
        esac

        case ${ntpdate_enable} in
        [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                echo -n ' ntpdate'
                ${ntpdate_program:-ntpdate} ${ntpdate_flags} >/dev/null 2>&1
                ;;
        esac

        case ${xntpd_enable} in
        [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                echo -n ' ntpd';        ${xntpd_program:-ntpd} ${xntpd_flags}
                ;;
        esac
    :
