*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you want to allow systemctl to have create access on the ntpd.service lnk_file
Then you need to change the label on ntpd.service
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'ntpd.service'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: locale_t, config_usr_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v 'ntpd.service'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that systemctl should be allowed create access on the ntpd.service lnk_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep systemctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
