[Bug 351989] Re: ntptrace man page is wrong

[JP Vossen]

1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter
the problem,

$ man ntptrace
$ ntptrace -v


2. the behavior you expected, and

I expect the man page to be accurate and ideally, useful.  Right now
it's mostly neither.


3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

The man page is NOT accurate, as detailed above.  Specifically, the man
page claims these options: [ -vdn ] [ -r retries ] [ -t timeout ] [
server ]

But the actual ntptrace program only accepts -n (listed in man but, but
no details) and -m (not listed in man page).  None of the other options
the man page lists, -d, -d, -r, -t are accepted by the program.

Solution: fix the man page so that it documents how the ntptrace program
actually works, what options it actually accepts, and what they do.
