I expect the old one came from the rpm and it probably didn't get replaced by anything from the ntp source package - those things are too system specific. Did it give any error messages? They usually end up in /var/log/messages unless/until you switch them to another log file with a logfile command in your config file. /etc/init.d/ntpd is just a shell script. You should be able to debug it. (It might take a while if you haven't worked in that area before.) Use "echo xxx" as the printf equivalent. "echo $foo" will expand foo from the environment variables. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
