I had a need to set a custom config file for ntp. I looked about and found
that I could pass a '-c' option and that options for ntp are set in
/etc/default/ntp in NTPD_OPTS. So I put it in there: NTPD_OPTS='-g -c
/path/to/custom/ntp.conf'. It worked. Until I deployed to another box that was
receiving NTP settings via DHCP. On that box, ntpd exited with an error because
it had received two config files in its arguments. Not good.
After reading through the init script, I opted to add a new variable
to /etc/default/ntp specifically for holding a custom config file.
Attached is a patch that will use that value if DHCP has not created
its own ntp.conf. If NTP settings were passed via DCHP, then those
settings will override the custom config file.
