I absolutely agree.

Yes, but a firewall may be a problem anyway:
- If you run "ntpdate -q server" then ntpdate uses an unprivileged port.
- If you run "ntpdate server" then ntpdate uses port 123
Please note whereas the former command (query only) can be used any time,
the latter works *only* while ntpd is *not* running.
On the other hand only the latter ntpdate command is affected by the same
firewall rules as ntpd.
