Try looking in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf. The daemon is
controlled by the line
xntpd_enable="YES" # Run xntpd Network Time Protocol (or
NO).
You can set up /etc/ntp.conf so xntpd uses your system's clock when you
aren't connected to the Internet (in essence, free-running), this will stop
the annoying messages:
# Use local clock as reference when PPP connection not active
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
Hope this helps,
