Created attachment 473550 [details, diff] Patch ebuild so as to create the $NTP_HOME directory during install. When setting up a new system from scratch, emerging openntpd for the first time fails to create the $NTP_HOME directory. This prevents openntpd to start, unless $NTP_HOME is created by hand. Another side effect is that, if $NTP_HOME does not exist during the post-install ebuild phase, the chown command there fails, and portage reports a corresponding error. I suggest to fix this by creating the $NTP_HOME directory in the ebuild's install phase, see the attached patch.
