OpenNTPD: listen

Hi,

The Wiki article presupposes some knowledge about the 'listening' thing. Ahem... I just want my time on my one and only computer to be always in order. Am I supposed to uncomment something in my /etc/ntpd.conf?

# Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default)
#listen on 0.0.0.0
#listen on 127.0.0.1
#listen on ::1

UPD:

Besides, the daemon won't start:

$ sudo /etc/rc.d/openntpd start
/etc/rc.d/openntpd: line 6: /etc/rc.d/functions: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/openntpd: line 12: stat_busy: command not found
/etc/rc.d/openntpd: line 18: add_daemon: command not found
/etc/rc.d/openntpd: line 19: stat_done: command not found

Re: OpenNTPD: listen

Openntp is no longer maintained on Arch (apparently) and the wiki recommends switching to ntp https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTPd
I use ntpd and as far as I can remember, it was no effort to set-up - I use the default conf settings and set-up the daemon as described (I use systemd now but was using rc when I initially set it up, so both were simple).
