By default, ntpd forks at startup and the forked process runs the operating NTP process and the original "parent" process exits. This is done specifically so that one can run 'ntpd' to behave as described, which does not block the boot process. If -n is supplied ntpd does not fork into the background, so the ntpd process will theoretically run "forever".
