This happened by way of LSB (http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/LSB)
Linux Standard Base requirements which mandated a package of name
"*xntp*" is installed in contrast to older software by name of "*ntp*".
To be LSB compliant SuSE and others renamed the _current_ ntpd package,
associated scripts and stuff "*xntp*".
example:
SuSE 9.1 xntp-4.2.0a-23
SuSE 9.3 xntp-4.2.0a-35
SuSE 10.0 xntp-4.2.0a-46
SuSE 10.1 xntp-4.2.0a-68
SuSE 10.2 xntp-4.2.2p4-6
actually these are all versions of the current ntp-4* package.
