I do not use ezjail, hence I can not help you much. Hopefully, someonelse will help you more, but in the meantime I will try. I think your problem might be in the moment at which /bin/sh /etc/rc is executed. As you probably know, there is a difference between creating a jail and entering a jail (a jail might run without being used by anybody). In my configuration, the line exec.start="/bin/sh /etc/rc" asks to start the services only when the jail is created and they will not start again if I exit from the jail and enter again into it without destroying and recreating the jail. Now, I think you could be in one of the following situations (or maybe both): 1) when you start your jail through ezjail, what you are really doing is entering in an already created jail and hence services are not started; in that case, it might be that ntpd starts regularly if you reboot your system or restart the ezjail service (I think it is a service); 2) ezjail creates your jail at boot before everything needed by ntpd is set properly, so ntpd fails at start and when you enter into the jail there is no ntpd: you could check if that is the case by reading into the logs. In that case the solution would be to reorder the host's services. I hope it helps. Lorenzo Salvadore.
