That sort of remark has often started endless debates. :)

For me, trusting rdate to provide time or using ntpd for it is pretty
much the same, but feel free to disagree. There are no risk-free
activities.

In my book, ntpd gets the job done with less administrative work and
it's made by the same people I trust to provide me with a sensible and
secure system.

If using site.tgz this sort of thing is rather a moot point.

If you haven't already, it might be wise to track the issue and report
it. Most of my things requiring post-install kernel config got fixed
over the next release, so I'm a happy camper.
