Strange behaviour when starting ntp

Hi,

When trying to start ntp daemon with the standard /etc/rc.d/ntpd start
(or restart) it goes and try something in /root/.acme.sh (the thing to
generate Lets Encrypt certificates).

I see no reason why it should act like that. I just noticed it with a
machine runnig 13.1 p2, but it is the same with 12.2 p10.

Many machines that have a directory /root/.acme.sh behave that same way.

Other daemons do not make any problem.

fbsd63<on>83: sudo /etc/rc.d/ntpd restart
Stopping ntpd.
Waiting for PIDS: 89043.
Starting ntpd.
/root/.acme.sh/acme.sh.csh: Permission denied.

server ntp.cs.ait.ac.th
restrict ntp.cs.ait.ac.th

Ntp still work, but that error is puzzling. Any help is welcome.

TIA,

Olivier
