On FreeBSD-11.0 when I see this:
# ntpd -V
/usr/sbin/ntpd: illegal option -- V
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p9
# which ntpd
/usr/sbin/ntpd
But I also see this on the same system:
pkg which $(which ntpd)
/usr/sbin/ntpd was not found in the database
# pkg info ntp
pkg: No package(s) matching ntp
and yet:
# pkg search ntp
. . .
ntp-4.2.8p9 The Network Time Protocol Distribution
. . .
So, where does the ntpd I am running come from if not from a package
or port? AND if it does, as I believe it must, come from the port
packages then why is it not reported by 'pkg info' and its program
file not listed in the port database?
