--- Comment #2 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes at FreeBSD.org> ---
This is a regression, in prior versions of FreeBSD you could specify and
override the -p option that came from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.  This new
/etc/rc.d/ntpd scripts does not allow that.  This is force set policy which
FreeBSD should not be doing.

I am unclear why these user configurable defaults have been hard coded, but it
is bad design.
