Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz
Hello,
ntpd(8) has in the OPTIONS section:
-m Synchronize using NTP multicast messages on the IP
multicast group address 224.0.1.1 (requires multicast
kernel).
But ntpd --help doesn't know about -m. (And using -m doesn't work
either, so probably the man page is wrong.)
Best regards
Uwe
