If you use WITHOUT_NTP=yes in /etc/src.conf to remove the base version and just use the port then there is no RC script. You have to copy the version from /usr/src/etc/rc.d/ntp into /usr/local/etc/rc.d. This should be fixed. I guess this wouldn't be too difficult to do. I said six months ago that I might look at submitting a patch to do this, maybe I should actually do it. -- Matt
