What you have above sounds like it should work. But if you can't figure out
what's wrong, there's another option: Use redhat's runlevel editor (e.g. in
linuxconf) to enable or disable xntpd in your current runlevel. If your
machine starts up at the console only, you're in runlevel 3. If your machine
goes into X after boot, then you're in runlevel 5.
