We use xntpd for our ntp/sntp implementation.  Is there another Unix 
system where you have a specific man page for sntp that you expected 
to find on FreeBSD?  We could potentially link the ntp page to the 
sntp page with a symlink, but I'm not sure this is necessary unless 
there was some reference somewhere indicating that you should look up 
'man sntp'. 

Please let us know what exactly you're looking for in that man page 
that isn't covered in the ntpd man pages.  Thanks.

The NetBSD project has a manpage for sntp.
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sntp++NetBSD-current

Unfortunately they're missing some options of FreeBSD's sntp
implementation (but this should be easily worked out).

I think having a manpage at all is not a bad idea :)

This is probably better solved by installing the manual page that comes 
with the sntp application in the ntp package. See 
src/contrib/contrib/ntp/sntp/sntp.1

We have a man page for sntp now. Sorry for taking so long.
I close this PR as solved.
