You should have a step-tickers file in all servers that are running ntpd. This is the file that is used by ntpd to call ntpdate and set the correct time when the daemon starts up.
What happens? The startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd will read the servers in the step-tickers file and execute the ntpdate command as follows:
For example, if the time of the hardware clock is way off, it is possible that ntpd will not start.

I'm slowly removing a lot of the bold font-styles from titles of discussions, forum titles, etc
I'm not removing bold for the entire site because we do need bold from time to time, especially in posts and sometimes in other places.

dcontrol
DCONTROL(1)DCONTROL(1)NAME
dcontrol -- Query package and source control files for all Debian distributions
SYNOPSIS
dcontrol [options] package[modifiers] [...]
DESCRIPTION
dcontrol queries a remote database of Debian binary and source package control files. It can be thought of as an apt-cache webservice that
also operates for distributions and architectures different from the local machine.
MODIFIERS
Like apt-cache, packages can be suffixed by modifiers:
=version
Exact version match
@architecture
Query this only architecture. Use @source for source packages, @binary excludes source packages.
/[archive:][suite][/component]
Restrict to archive (debian, debian-backports, debian-security, debian-volatile), suite (always codenames, with the exception of
experimental), and/or component (main, updates/main, ...). Use two slashes (//) to separate suite and component if the suite name
contains slashes. (Component can be left empty.)
By default, all versions, suites, and architectures are queried. Refer to http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/dcontrol for currently supported
values.
OPTIONS -s, --show-suites
Add headers showing which distribution the control file is from.
-d, --debug
Print URL queried.
-h, --help
Show a help message.
-V, --version
Show version information.
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced by a shell in that order to set configuration variables.
Command line options can be used to override configuration file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this purpose. The
currently recognised variable is:
DCONTROL_URL
URL to query. Default is http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/dcontrol.
