The accuracy and reliability of ntpdate entirely depends on the accuracy and network link stability of the first server it connects with. As this inaccuracy can lead to a multitude of problems, the maintainers have decided to deprecate it in favor of only using the ntpd (network time protocol daemon) or a sntp (simple network time protocol) query.[2]
