NTP is an initialism, not an acronym.  Real acronyms, in English, are often
written in lower case.

In any case Unix file names are not English, and there is a strong preference
for lowercase, because it is easier to type.

Yes I do know that there is a perennial debase about whether initialisms 
are really acronyms, or whether that is just a popular misconception.
I believe the Oxford Engish Dictionary is on my side.
