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.
