patches/packages/ntp-4.2.8p18-x86_64-2_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt. This is a bugfix release to fix a possible regression. In some cases ntpd gets an error on mixed ipv4/ipv6 networks, so we'll make it possible to easily configure ntpd to use ipv4 only or ipv6 only (as well as to change any other ntpd options). rc.ntp: properly create the PID file on start. Add /etc/default/ntp to configure ntpd startup options since some people are needing to add -4 to avoid an error. Thanks to rkelsen and teoberi.
