If Christoph says he'd be willing to stop running in debug mode and go back to the original mechanism where openntpd runs normally as a daemon and logs to syslog, I'll put together a patch that adds a -p argument to optionally create a pid file after daemonizing... But I don't really want to spend the time though if there's not a reasonably firm agreement on it. My offer to debug boot delays in excess of 15 seconds upon supply of a reproducible configuration that causes them still stands too...
