Better would probably be to have the rc.d/ntpd script check that it
exists, and can be opened, before allowing ntpd to start in a chroot'd
(non root run really, the chroot doesn't affect things) environment.

That way it could print a sane message whenever things are wrong (even
if a new kernel is booted after an upgrade, when no-one thinks to go
check what is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf).
