Ok, I used to get notifications in the logs about ntp syncing
occasionally, letting me know it is doing its thing, but I haven't seen
one since the OpenRC migration... and because of the below error, I'm
concerned that it may not be working properly...

Anyone? Did ntp/sntp change how it logs things? Or is this possibly due
to my /var partition not being mounted yet (its on an lvm partition)
when sntp tries to start?

It appears to be running, but like I said, I haven't seen anything in
the logs about a time sync event since I rebooted yesterday after
migrating to OpenRC:
