Bug Description
Only things that need to be run once to get the system into a consistent state
(aka system scripts) are to be run in runlevel S. As many users need to remove
ntpdate at startup, they dangerously play with rcS.d directory. Moving ntpdate
into user's runlevel (2-3-4-5) will be more proper and will give some more time
to wireless devices to be up. Furthermore, it could also fix bug #19034.

Correct system time is important for a properly functioning system, including
the services which start in runlevel 2.
