   If one is going to work within the old ntp system, this old Ub page is   
   useful:

   ... because all kinds of ntp.conf (related) commands have problems, such   
   as timedatectl timesysc-status (on the 20.3 LM xfce) which do NOT on a   
   current system.   
      
   So, my take is that if a person's system were to start w/ such as LM   
   20.3 (or earlier) to get to 21.3, it would need to successfully   
   transition its NTP business from the old ntp package system to the newer   
   systemd NTP system, and if it didn't, the old system does NOT work   
   properly under the newer conditions and needs to be manually fixed by   
   the user.
