ntp from ports has no rc script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

[Alain De Vos]

1) There is no WITHOUT_NTPDATE in src.conf
2) When you compile world WITHOUT_NTP in src.conf there is no rc.script to start ntp even when you install the ports package ntp.

net/ntp uses the standard /etc/rc.d/ntpd script (which is why you need to set ntpd_program and ntpdate_program). You can give net/openntpd a try, that does have its own rc(8) script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openntpd).
