Right. You wrote "issues with dhcpcd," which I managed to convert
to dhclient. Is dhcpcd getting invoked with -N (to disable overwriting
an existing /etc/ntp.conf file)? Is dhcpd issuing the ntp-servers 
option, that is, does /etc/dhcpd.conf (on the DHCP server, obviously)
have

option ntp-servers ip.ad.dre.ss;

in it?
