The rpm package might be called ntpd or xntpd, or some other variant.

One problem with rpm is that if a file is not on the installed system, you
have to jump through some loops to figure out which package it is supposed
to come from.  Hopefully the eventual CPyAN would be able to handle such
queries in an easy way.
