Hi!

ntptimeset uses ntp to set initial time (when no daemon seems to be running)
If you set NTPD_START = no then my script uses ntpd -q (among other settings)
to mimic ntpdate but with this "new" -q switch (as manual page say is future).

As being on 10.3 maybe its outdated and later versioan anr better but if you
find useful please use it. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/ntpd ntptimeset
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
with NTPD_START = no , no deamon is present.

Network scripts should call it on network changes and optionally cron.hourly
shell script can keep the time provided system time doesnt skew to fast.

Expected Results:  
No deemon running, and memory resouces freed.
With sysconfig NTPD_START = yes nomral behaviour is expected (deamon starts and
ntptime set doesnt do anything while is still alive)

List mates on opensuse-es suggest later releases 11.x may have diferent setups
on this script. I dont know, im just fine on 10.3.
