Description James Ralston 2004-12-15 00:45:02 UTC 
The ntpd init.d script tries to take what was specified for the ntpd
-u option and pass it to ntpdate as the -U option.  This will fail if
the ntpd -u option specified an (optional) group.

The chroot option changed from -T to -i.

If the -i option is used, ntpd now looks for the configuration file
*before* it calls chroot().  Therefore, adjusting $ntpconf based on
the chroot value is wrong.

$ntpstep should be with $ntpconf; that is, outside of the chroot. 
Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the -i option at all.
