Description of problem: ntpd man page is out of sync. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntp-4.2.2p1-9.el5 How reproducible: always Since ntpd-4.2.2, we can specify which interface not to listen using -L [interface]. # ntpd -L ntpd: option requires argument -L usage: ntpd [ -46abdgnqx ] [ -c config_file ] [ -f drift_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ] [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broadcast_delay ] [ -s stats_dir ] [ -t trusted_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V default_sysvar ] [ -L [ interface ] ] <= [ -P fixed_process_priority ] [ -u user[:group] ] [ -i jaildir ] # But online manual of the ntpd didn't explain about this. -L Do not listen to virtual IPs. The default is to listen.
