Why you need to do this? Your system is not fully operationl in the time you try to run ntpdate. Just edit your /etc/ntp.conf to connect to some time servers. Per example mine is:
-su-2.05b# cat /etc/ntp.conf server ntp2.usno.navy.mil server tock.usno.navy.mil server tick.usno.navy.mil server ntp.colby.edu server navobs1.oar.net server gnomon.cc.columbia.edu server tick.gatech.edu server ntp0.mcs.anl.gov statistics loopstats clockstats statsdir /var/log/ntpd filegen loopstats enable filegen clockstats enable logfile /var/log/ntpd/ntpd.log driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift tinker panic 0 .................

I get error msgs that the time server cannot be found. Is named run before or after ntpdate? Should I change the rule in something like "ntpdate -b ip" ?
