Is that a typo?  There is no /usr/local/var/ or /usr/var/ on Fedora or Debian.

The server side needs 3 files:
  cookie keys
  certificate
  private key for certificate

The certificate and private key can live in /etc/ntp/ -- they don't get 
updated by ntpd.

We could give up on defaults for all of them.  Then the documentation wouldn't 
have to discuss defaults.
