Hahahahahhah... Don't bother. Whatever are the differences (if there are
some), rdate definitely timeout after 2 minutes. Confirmed in a little
openbsd virtual machine of mine. So, for the original poster, i
recommend that you sticky with rdate for now, it will timeout faster
than ntpd -s. When Henning changes the ntpd code (that i expect will be
on both current and 4.4), you get back to ntpd -s.
