>Description:

	/etc/rc.d/ntpdate can't reliably parse a fairly standard
	ntp.conf file.

>How-To-Repeat:
	

Replace /etc/ntp.conf with this:

# look mom no hands!
server random-server.example.com # random comment
fudge  127.127.1.0 stratum 10
server another-random-server.example.com # more 
# end more comments
	
Run "/etc/rc.d/ntpdate start"

watch the off-the-wall gripes about not finding host "#"

>Fix:

I *think* this is what was intended:

diff -u /etc/rc.d/ntpdate.\~1\~ /etc/rc.d/ntpdate
