Then you have a man page whose name is different from the command it describes. Of course, sbin/ntpd could be renamed to sbin/openntpd. But how about ntpd.conf, ntpctl? This just keeps spiralling. I'll note that net/ntp and net/ntpsec conflict even more with base ntp. Should those be renamed as well? > It'd work around that underlying problem, and > frankly `man openntpd` is the first place I inevitably look for > openntpd's manpage. When you install security/openssh-portable, do you try "man openssh"? net/isc-dhcp44-*? How to deal with ports that install components that have name conflicts with the base system is a general problem, and there doesn't seem to be a good solution. I don't like pkg-message either, but bjk@ suggested it. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2020-May/034062.html If it upsets the status quo too much, I'll happily revert it. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
