This line overwrites the value set in the previous line.
xntpd_flags is a shell variable, not an accumulator.
You want:
  xntpd_flags=3D"-c /etc/ntp.conf  -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.d=
rift"
or=20
  xntpd_flags=3D"-c /etc/ntp.conf"
  xntpd_flags=3D"$xntpd_flags -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift"

However /etc/ntp.conf is probably the default so it doesn't matter=20
if it gets lost.
