 > Calling /etc/rc.d/ntpd stop issue an error "ntpd not running? (check /var/run/ntpd.pid)." but ntpd is active!
 
 Please check to see if you have set ntpd_flags in your /etc/rc.conf.
 Note the default contents of this variable in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
 
   ntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift"
 
 If you define ntpd_flags in your /etc/rc.conf, you override the default
 ntpd_flags.  In order to retain the expected behaviour of the rc script,
 you need to include the default ntpd_flags in your modified variable.
 So, if you want to pass other flags to ntpd, then you would put this in
 your /etc/rc.conf
 
   ntpd_flags="<other flags> -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift"
 
 Please let us know if this solves your problem so that the PR can be
 closed.
