[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#476491: manpage ntpdate claims wrong default version?

[Andreas Henriksson]

Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3
Severity: minor


Just a minor nitpick, since I ran into this I can just as well file it....

from ntpdate(8):

       -o version
              Specify the NTP version for outgoint packets as the integer ver‐
              sion, which can be 1 or 2. The default is 3. This allows ntpdate
              to be used with older NTP versions.

Using tcpdump it looks to me like it now defaults to NTPv4.
