PS: re "doesn't obey it's config file", in Debian there are hooks in ISC dhclient to restart ntpd every time it gets a lease, with a custom temporary ntpd.conf. Maybe ntpdate is using that instead of /etc/ntp.conf?
I could only locate an ntpd.conf while I had openntpd installed. It doesn't exist with ntpdate and ntp installed. It is true that ntpdate uses /etc/default/ntpdate, but it has the default I mentioned upthread:
Note: I wrote ntp.conf, you wrote ntpd.conf. Braino? On all Debian systems I've created with debian-installer[0], /etc/ntp.conf gets created automatically based on your answers during the install. (...I think. Now I'm worried :P) [0] as opposed to debootstrap or similar.
