In "man ntpd", the -g option leads me to the -q which has this info:
-q Exit the ntpd just after the first time the clock is set. This
behavior mimics that of the ntpdate program, which is to be
retired. The -g and -x options can be used with this option.
So they are putting ntpdate out to pasture and ntpd is taking over.
