I added a bugzilla note for ntp/fedora earlier today:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110321

If you feel it worth your time and my description in bugzilla is 
adequate enough please add your comments and perhaps we can get this 
resolved to keep others from having to go through this same problem. 

What led you to check/discover the new user?
