Unless something in your host is major league hosed, this is not true.

Try:

 	/sbin/runlevel
 	/usr/sbin/ntpdate -q 0.us.pool.ntp.org

Depending on who you ask, the "s" in sbin means "static" or "system." On 
Linux, it appears to mean "system" since both of these are dynamically 
linked.

Thanks in advance,
