+ New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123). Be sure to run mergemaster
+ or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
+ existing systems. Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
+ if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
+ the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
+ When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
+ still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
+ taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
+ by the ntpd user.
