Thanks for the clarifications. A couple more comments now that I understand the goal:

* fix the path to drift file:

The default path of ntp drift file is /etc/ntp.drift, ntp daemon
maybe fails to create this file since the user ntp is not always
permitted to write /etc.

Refer to other distributions such as RedHat, Debian, just moving
the file to /var/lib/ntp which the home dir of user ntp.

* add tmpfile support:

Make sure the /var/lib/ntp is always created by sysvinit/systemd.

Since ntp.conf is provided by OE in files/ntp.conf, this change should be made there. Other users may provide their own ntp.conf through a bbappend and will not want it modified during installation.

ntp.drift is not a tmpfile and should not be considered volatile (its absence will cause NTP to spend the first 15 minutes estimating local oscillator characteristics, which is generally not desirable in a time server). /var/lib is intended for persistent state so putting the drift file there is perfectly fine, but adding /var/lib/ntp in tmpfiles/volatiles is incorrect.

Since /var/lib/ntp is the ntp user's home directory, surely it's created automatically anyway and nothing need be done.
