1) rdate is not ntp related so the first answer is normal

2) ntpdate is to be used by root, however it should not be used for 
automatic update except at boot. You should install the ntp package 
which works continuously by adapting clock speed, and is the best way to 
get and keep a correct time.

The default configuration should work without problem for a client machine.
