 mlockall() returns ENOMEM when the system- or per-process-limit is exceeded,
 you can ignore it. Worst thing is that ntpd gets swapped out and cannot
 sync time anymore.
 
 ntpd uses about 7MB RAM (about 3MB shared). You probably don't want
 to have this locked in memory on a small machine. Adding
 
 rlimit memlock -1
 
 to ntp.conf should prevent it from trying.
