If you do ship the one supplied now I just found one thing that will

# Drift file etc.

Ntpd is running as user nobody, whom can't write to that directory.
Gack, confirmed. And it is worse. I made that directory owned
by nobody, mode 755. Same problem. Then I tried mode 777, same
problem.
There was an error in the logs from when the directory did not exist.
That would explain some of my startup glitching.
I opened a bug:

Gary,
I'm not seeing that once I set the ownership to nobody.

Ntpd writes the drift file and no errors are logged.
