Wasn't that the entire reason behind running both?

ntpd can be reluctant to sync your clock if it is too far out. Running
ntpdate (which has no such qualms) at boot gets it "close enough" and then
ntpd gives it the little nudges to keep it on track.

being captured and herded into racks, where they will spend the rest of
their days, passing traffic, dreaming of the freedom they used to have,
roaming free in the data center." --That Guy
