Funny...  It's just the opposite for me.  'man 1 ntpd' gives me "No
entry for ntpd in section 1 of the manual".  But 'man 8 ntpd' gives me
a man page.

Consider the following exercise in simple use of command-line tools:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate ntpd | grep man
/usr/share/man/man1/ntpd.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ntpdc.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/ntpdate.1.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ locate ntpd | grep bin
/usr/sbin/ntpdc
/usr/sbin/ntpdate
/usr/sbin/ntpd

So on this system (FC3) the relevant man.pages are in
/usr/share/man/man1 and the executable files are in /usr/sbin.  YMMV.
