rdate actually try numerous times for each servers listed for the given
hostname. clock-setup progress bar is reset to 0 each time a new server
is tried. This was a compromise while improving progress and
cancelation support in clock-setup, as there is no easy way to know
how many servers will be tried by rdate.
But maybe this behaviour is too weird when the NTP replies are wrong
themselves…
