While Otto's fixing the real bug in ntpd, you can always implement the
"don't use -s unless there's an interface up" logic yourself in
/etc/rc.conf.local. Indeed, my rc.conf.local contains the following:
if ifconfig em0 | grep 'status: active' >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
ifconfig wi0 >/dev/null 2>&1
then
ntpd_flags=-s
else
ntpd_flags=NO
fi
I.e., start ntpd (with the -s option) if and only if my 'em' interface
is active or I plugged in my 'wi' PCMCIA card before booting.
