Description:
Self-explanatory. The details are at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Time_Protocol_daemon#Running_as_non-root_user. I feel that as Arch already builds ntp with "-enable-linux-caps" this would be a good security enhancement.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
local/ntp 4.2.6.p5-3
This task depends upon
