ntpdate sets  the system time after  syncing with the  time server.  Now
you have to update the hardware clock by doing a 'hwclock -w' before you
do a reboot/halt.  Have I gone wrong somewhere ?

Do we have  ntpdate symlinked in all run-levels ?  You  mean to say that
ntpdate should run before ntp ?  Do ntpdate and ntp read the same config
file ie. /etc/ntp.conf ?
