yes, this was my concern. I guess it cuts both ways. If you can only
derive it from ntp.conf the daemon could have been reconfigured
post-invocation and if you derive it from the runtime status it must
match ntp.conf or the behaviour will change after the next restart.

It's a pity you cannot get this information from the daemon but if
that's the way it is...

thanks,
