Please don't do this, for reasons already mentioned.

If your hwclock is so broken ntp refuses to adjust the clock, you may run
ntpdate (or rdate -n) at boot, but then you should start ntpd (or chrony)
normally. It will give far more accurate results, with less burden on
public resources.

I haven't read the man pages in a while (which you should do before doing
anything), but I recall that ntpd refuses to adjust time when the clock is
wrong on the order of hours. It does init fine when the clock is set to
2010 (RTC-less machines).
