to manually edit the entries for ntpd in both files.Etcupdate fails

etcupdate is usually pretty good at automatically merge updates to files 
without user interaction, even when the files are locally edited as 
well.  For instance, I had no problem merging /etc/master.passwd and 
/etc/group for the ntp change.
