Another stupid question: You *ARE* doing this as root, right? It
has to be run as root.
Yes
The manpage for ntpdate says that "-d" won't actually set the
clock. Does "ntpdate -v -B ntp.apple.com" work (that is, without
the "-d")?
without the "-d" it does not work.
That the point:
I CANNOT set the clock !
"-d" and "-q" seem to neutralize the setting operation:
in a few words, ntpdate only fails to set the clocks.
If not, then you are probably correct that it's a privilege
problem somewhere.... Of course, at boot time it *WOULD* be run
as root. Unless you are using a name at boot time and that name
is not being resolved into an IP. Did you try rebooting, making
sure that ntpdate would use an IP at boot time?
There is the same error message in the syslog file.
So many questions. So little time. (No pun intended! :-)

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me. We're both happy.
