Good. I suggest that this PR may now be closed. > Just in case, I still can't get -L flag work, exactly as described here: > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/128886 > Have you any idea about it? :) I chased this years ago and discovered that the ntpd '-L' option only ever worked on Linux (but I can't locate an authoritative reference right now). This section of the ntpd code has been reworked in recent years and current versions use a configuration file 'interface' directive instead, which works on FreeBSD. In order to select specific ntpd service addresses you will need to upgrade to a current version of ntpd (e.g. via ports net/ntp) and use the 'interface listen' directive in ntp.conf. -- John Marshall
