Internet screwed up?

[Shawn Tayler]

This brings up a question.  I have been struggling with netdate.  It has a
tendency to just hang waiting for a response from some time servers, never
seeming to time out.  I also have heard it is deprecated.  Is there a
viable, commandline alternative?  NTPD is a bugger to get setup, at least
the times I have tried I have given up...
