I very slightly lean in the direction of just ignoring that file altogether unless explicitly forced to be read via an option. Note that the usual start scripts already feed NTP a configuration file different from the default most of the time in order to splice in the time server offered via DHCP (but picking up the base file from /etc/ntp.conf). So all those mechanics would have to be considered as well if you wanted to be compatible with classic. > 4. Here's the tricky part. Not every file is interpreted by every > program.

If you must, consider doing something like fontconfig (conf.avail vs. conf.d) and have two directories that are traversed for ntpd and refclockd, respectively.
