I have tried with two versions of nscd, after I enabled boot.setclock with runlevel editor zypper says that nscd is up to date. Yast2 software management does not have any problem and doesn't enable boot.setclock either. I have disabled boot.setclock again as I have had enough ntp problems to date.
