I just followed the above link.  I see ONE feature missing!

ntpdate -Du  (I think it's -D) does NOT set the clock, it simply tells 
you what it would have done had it been permitted to do so.  I suppose 
this feature is not essential but I've used it a time or two to find out
how my time agreed, or disagreed, with some other server.
