multiple ntpd processes

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0, and I have 'ntpd_enable="YES"' in my /etc/rc.conf.
Every time I reboot my server, I get two ntpd processes:
nlandys at daffy# ps -U root | grep ntpd
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
571 ?? Ss 0:00.12 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p
/var/run/ntpd.pid
686 ?? S 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p
/var/run/ntpd.pid
When I run '/etc/rc.d/ntpd stop' it kills the first process in the output
above but leaves the second one. I must manually kill this second process
and then run '/etc/rc.d/ntpd start' to get ntpd to function normally,
otherwise [while there are 2 processes running] ntpd does not seem to keep
the clock in sync. Please help.
