Ah, it might be that one. I'll try removing it. Thanks for the pointer.

In any case, do you think that ntp should depend on named though? I would
assume that most people are using hostnames for their ntp servers and not IP
addresses, but I do see that it's possible to run ntp and not rely on
DNS. In which case the downside of that extra dependency would be that ntp
gets started a bit later than necessary.

Cheers,
Francois
