Hi Philip,

I'd like to rephrase better my statement, as I put two errors in it:
The problem is caused by the option "-u ntp:ntp" which is not supported=
 if ntp=20
is build without "--enable-linuxcaps".

As far as the manual goes, the "--enable-clockctl" is a build option fo=
r=20
NetBSD:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html

Removing the "-u ntp:ntp" makes the initscript work, but I don't know i=
f=20
shipping different ntpd initscripts based on pkgconfig is the correct t=
hing to=20
do. Any expert opinion?

Bests,
Diego
