The problem is that MacOS X keeps re-writing the ntp.conf file.
Trust me, you do not want this.
See <https://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues#Section_9.2.4.>.
My problem so far has been that this re-writing appears to occur
within a binary program of some sort, and not part of a standard
startup script. The startup script itself is easy enough to modify.
But that's not the worst part.
