>Description:
The "man ntpd" reveals the following text:
-P Override the priority limit set by the operating system. Not
recommended for sissies.
Not to be overly sensitive or anything; but this sort of language has no place in an official
manual. It is not professional to address people as "sissies", when what you simply mean is
"Less experienced users".
>How-To-Repeat:
RTFM :)
>Fix:
That would be on your end.
