Actually, on bootup, as Bruce mentioned, ntpdate(1) is attempted, and this 
is the guy who takes the time. There are a number of workable solutions:
1. The one I proposed. A bit complex.
2. The one Bruce Proposed. Requires a simple crontab entry.
3. Tell ntp not to start ntpdate. This can be done in Yast/System/Sysconfig 
editor/Network/NTP/NTPD_INITIAL_NTPDATE. In this case, only the ntp daemon 
will run, and this will not delay startup at all, and won't cause any 
performance issues.
