Detailed Description
ntpdate is slowly being depricated in favor of ntpd. DoD STIGs now penalize for the use of ntpdate on Red Hat Enterprise systems. I would like to "modernize" the ntpdate utility to do two things.
First, I would like to get rid of the dependency of ntpdate, in favor of ntpd.
Second, I would like to add a set time for ntpd to check for time updates (as configured by the user in /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate).
