You need to set ntpd_config to the path to your config file - as it is
now, you are also setting it in ntpd_flags, which the above line then
expands to something like this:
rc_flags=3D"-c /path/in/ntpd_config -c /etc/ntp.conf...."
So, remove it from your ntpd_flags definition and all should be well!
