I needed both services *and* resolv.conf. They're (currently ...) not copied in the rc.d script (maybe a soft link is enough ?) It looks like the behaviour of ntpd in NetBSD has changed since August 2013. It now does chroot() earlier and needs stuff in /var/chroot/ntpd/etc to help with name resolving which I didn't need nearly 6 months ago. Thanks very much, Onno
