openntp in normal operation avoids "jumping" the time. It makes gradual
adjustments with adjtime(2) until the clock is in sync, then skews the
clock frequency. If the -s flag is used, it jumps the time at startup.
Alternatively "rdate -n $host" is similar to ntpdate.

Agreed.

Thanks, that sounds good, I'll try to find time to look it over
tomorrow.
