It's me again with my annual NTP whinge.

The answer to the perennial "will release $foo ship with old / insecure

I completely agree with this, however my NTP whinge is that the NTP port needs to have its own RC init script that is independant of the base. If you use WITHOUT_NTP=yes in /etc/src.conf to remove the base version and just use the port then there is no RC script. You have to copy the version from /usr/src/etc/rc.d/ntp into /usr/local/etc/rc.d. This should be fixed. I guess this wouldn't be too difficult to do. I said six months ago that I might look at submitting a patch to do this, maybe I should actually do it.
