I've finally got a combination of suggested configurations that get me to where I want to be (using ntpd, ntpdate, and netwait). However, I've found that I still need ntpdate_enable="YES" rather than ntpd_sync_on_start="YES". The reason for this is that I'm running at securelevel 3, and ntpd takes too long to get up, running, and sync the clock. By the time it tries to adjust the clock, secure level has already been raised preventing the adjustment. Is there a way to make securelevel wait until ntpd has made its adjustments? When I use ntpdate at this point, it seems like the init scripts are sequential, and it waits until ntpdate is done before continuing and later raising securelevel. It seems that even though ntpdate is deprecated that it is still required if you want to run securelevel 3.
