Description Seth Hieronymus 2007-05-13 22:00:11 UTC
The manpage for ntpd shows the DNS options: -4 and -6.  However, the binary does not recognize them.  The easy fix (not sure if correct) is to just delete the two option descriptions from the manpage.

How-To-Repeat: root@hts3:/etc # ntpd -4

ntpd: unknown option -4
usage: ntpd [ -abdgmnqx ] [ -c config_file ] [ -e e_delay ]
                [ -f freq_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ]
                [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broad_delay ] [ -s statdir ]
                [ -t trust_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V default_sysvar ]

  Delete description of non-existent options: "-4" and "-6".
  
  ntpd's "-4" and "-6" options are described in the original documentation
  (contrib/ntp/html/ntpd.html).  It may be original's doc bug.
