Thanks as well to both of you. I too learned something new.

They do conflict with each other, I'm not sure what will happen if you have both in rc.conf. Hopefully ntpdate will run first, then ntpd. If ntpd is running then you will get an error message running ntpdate.
On an unsecured box (the one that I mentioned, where ntpd choked because
the BIOS clock was too far off, I simply stopped ntpd, ran ntpdate and
then restarted ntpd.
They do not conflict if you use the flags in defaults/rc.conf.
ntpdate -b sets the time ONCE and is run before ntpd starts, the '-b' option will cause it to to set the time absolutely no matter hao far off the clock is at the time. This is exactly how ntpdate is intended to be used.
That said, ntpdate is considered obsolete by the ntp folks and may
disappear at some time in the future. Their recommendation is to use
ntpd with the '-g' flag to force an unconditional clock set and to use
the 'iburst' option on your servers in /etc/ntp.conf. I find this works
well, but some have complained that it takes too long.
Thank you. I have been using ntpd for awhile, and haven't read the man pages recently, which I should have done before posting. I only ran into the issue once and solved it as I mentioned.
Thanks again. I just learned something.

Buffy: No, but, see, Mom, that doesn't really work for me. We're just going to the magic shop, no school supplies there. Dawn: Yeah, Mom. I'm not going to Hogwarts. (chuckles) Hog- (looks at Buffy, who's not amused) Jeez, crack a book sometime.
