I need to an '-s' flag to the execution of openntpd's rc script:

openntpd_enable=${openntpd_enable:-"NO"}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
The problems I'm having are multiple. First, the program doesn't offer
any logging, and running it with the "do not daemonize" switch with
# /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -d 2>&1 > logfile
yields no output.
Then, I'm not sure I understand everything I'm reading in rc.subr(8), but
from trial error, I've discovered that modifying the script's "command"
variable doesn't work, nor does adding the usual "scriptname_flags"
directive to /etc/rc.conf.
Scriptname_flags doesn't work because the port maintainer didn't write the
startup script so that it parses rc.conf for variables. You can edit the
script like this:
command_args="-s"
When rc.subr runs scripts, it runs them like this:
${command} ${command_args} ${command_flags}
Or you can add this to the startup script and then use flags in rc.conf:
load_rc_config openntpd
openntpd_flags=${openntpd_flags:-""}
(In that order.)
Then place openntpd_flags="-s" in rc.conf.
Just remember that every time the port is updated, your changes will be
overwritten, so you'll need to make a backup or leave a note to yourself
somewhere so you remember to alter the new script.
