Note that ntpdate will push a date/time change directly on every run, which causes clock jumps. This is something you don't want for some applications. Openntpd will change time with very small corrections that aren't noticable to applications. When starting openntpd with the -s option, it will correct time in one jump just like ntpdate, which could be useful on initial startup. After that, it will continue to correct time with small steps.
