I also have my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd for that:
-8<------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ]; then
if [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate ]; then
/usr/sbin/ntpdate balrog
fi
/usr/sbin/ntpd
fi
-8<------------------------------
Since a few years, ntpd has the option "-g" which no longer would make it
necessary to call ntpdate before ntpd. However, I still stick to my old
school way of starting ntpd. I keep the stock /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd script as
non executable, but in many cases that script would do the job today.
