>Description:
There is an error in the NTPD manpage.
The option -L means "do NOT listen to Virtual IPs" the present manpage
(FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE) says:
-L Listen to virtual IPs.
looking at the code in /usr/src/contrib/ntpd/cmd_args.c shows this:
/*
* Definitions of things either imported from or exported to outside
*/
extern char const *progname;
int listen_to_virtual_ips = 1;
and further down:
case 'L':
listen_to_virtual_ips = 0;
break;
>How-To-Repeat:
$ man ntpd
>Fix:
Correct the usage statement for the "-L" flag, per the above.
