If a system is running long time, then it should run the NTP daemon all the
time. The daemon while running synchronizes reguralry with the servers and
peers. The only thing you need to assure is that the NTP daemon is running,
which is something the YaST UI offers. NetworkManager is able to handle NTP
with temporary connection (eg. laptops).
Calling ntpdate makes sense only if you have network access only temporarily or
before you start ntpd, since it doesn't behave correctly if the difference
between network time and local time.
Also, using ntpdate is not failure-proof. NTP daemon can handle several
servers, ntpdate only one, which results in impossibility to synchronize if one
server fails.
