It is in CURRENT[1] & would be worth MFC although possibly too late for 11.3R. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ntpdate mentions: DESCRIPTION Note: The functionality o this program is now available in the ntpd(8) program. See the -q command line option in the ntpd(8) page. After a suitable period of mourning, the ntpdate utility is to be retired from this distribution. Perhaps a revision that uses ntpd_flags would be better? --panicgate [2]: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ntpd [1]: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=r326095 Author: manu <manu@FreeBSD.org> Date: Wed Nov 22 15:27:47 2017 +0000 bsdinstall: Add ntpdate option When you install a computer for the first time, the date in the CMOS sometimes not accurate and you need to ntpdate as ntpd will fail a the time difference is too big.
