New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123). Be sure to run mergemaster
or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
existing systems. Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
by the ntpd user.
