In fact, they are both wrong, at least in stretch. wooledg:~$ LC_ALL=C systemctl status ntp * ntp.service - LSB: Start NTP daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/ntp; generated; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2017-08-07 08:07:33 EDT; 1 weeks 3 days ag Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 580 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/ntp start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/ntp.service `-606 /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 109:113 The service is spelled "ntp.service". There is not currently a systemd unit file for it; it's using the init.d script named "ntp" instead. Beyond that, I have no idea what caused the OP's problem.
