maybe we need -g by default

also ntpdate is "deprecated" for=2E=2E=2E how long?
and is still used (in place of "ntpd -g" at boot)

related: single-usering / booting live and rebooting turns your cmos clock=
 into wrong value if it's a wallclock time=2E since it doesn't do "adjkernt=
z -i"

two annoying cases
