This shouldn't be needed as ntpd already requires ntpdate and in
turn ntpdate requires named. The issue is probably  timing - that named
isn't ready.

I have a similar issue with PPP not having connected by the time
ntpdate runs , so I just have a script that runs between named and
ntpdate, and blocks waiting for access.
