I use ntpdate and ntpd out-of-the box (basically) and it does ntpdate
at every system reboot (during all the init.d scripts) and afterwards
ntpd is started to keep the time up-to-date (actually, it should read
up-to-time, I would say... :-) and my wife's computer happy with the
same: first ntpdate, then ntpd.
