GUI was a read herring.  The files I am thinking of, on Red Hat, are in 
a directory called, something like, /etc/sysconfig.  They generally 
contain all the variable parameters.  Whether or not they contain the 
ntpd configuration file name would depend on whether the GUI tools make 
that a user configurable option.

Incidentally, Red Hat can and do change the location of files to reflect 
their filesystem layout policies.

I don't have access to a Red Hat system immediately.  Slackware uses 
/etc/ntp.conf, but doesn't use the System V (?) style start up scripts.
