Hi Mircea

I can see we have a local patched version that also removes --disable-ntp,
and also adds systemd support, run as non-root user, version bump,
authentication support option and custom start option.

A switch would be fine in case some doesn't need ntp support.

I should probably put together some patches with our local changes.
