Add selected manual pages transcribed from the HTML documentation.
Those pages which have not been transcribed are referenced as gracefully as possible. There is no perfect section for the ntp_* files, which document configuration options for the NTP suite, so I'm putting them in the same section as the pages for the utilities themselves.

+.Nm ntp_acc
+.Nd NTP daemon access control options
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Pa /etc/ntp.conf
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Xr ntpd 8
+implements a general purpose
+address-and-mask based restriction list.
+The list is sorted by address and by mask,
+and the list is searched in this order for matches,
+with the last match found
+defining the restriction flags associated with the incoming packets.
+The source address of incoming packets is used for the match,
+with the 32-bit address being AND'ed with the mask
+associated with the restriction entry
+and then compared with the entry's address
+(which has also been AND'ed with the mask)
+to look for a match.
+Additional information and examples can be found in the
+.Qo
+Notes on Configuring NTP and Setting up a NTP Subnet
+.Qc
+page
+(available as part of the HTML documentation
+provided in
+.Pa /usr/share/doc/ntp ) .
+.Pp
+The restriction facility was implemented
+in conformance with the access policies
+for the original NSFnet backbone time servers.
+While this facility may be otherwise useful
+for keeping unwanted or broken remote time servers
+from affecting your own,
+it should not be considered an alternative
+to the standard NTP authentication facility.
+Source address based restrictions are easily circumvented
+by a determined cracker.
+.Ss Access Control Commands
+The following access control commands are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Xo Ic restrict
+.Ar numeric_address
+.Op mask Ar numeric_mask
+.Op Ar flag
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+The
+.Ar numeric_address
+argument, expressed in dotted-quad form,
+is the address of an host or network.
+The
+.Ar numeric_mask
+argument, also expressed in dotted-quad form,
+defaults to 255.255.255.255,
+meaning that the
+.Ar numeric_address
+is treated as the address of an individual host.
+A default entry
+(address 0.0.0.0, mask 0.0.0.0)
+is always included and, given the sort algorithm,
+is always the first entry in the list.
+Note that, while
+.Ar numeric_address
+is normally given in dotted-quad format,
+the text string default, with no mask option,
+may be used to indicate the default entry.
+.Pp
+In the current implementation, flag always restricts access,
+i.e. an entry with no flags indicates
+that free access to the server is to be given.
+The flags are not orthogonal, in that more restrictive flags
+will often make less restrictive ones redundant.
+The flags can generally be classed into two catagories,
+those which restrict time service
+and those which restrict informational queries
+and attempts to do run-time reconfiguration of the server.
+One or more of the following flags may be specified:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It ignore
+Ignore all packets from hosts which match this entry.
+If this flag is specified neither queries
+nor time server polls will be responded to.
+.It noquery
+Ignore all NTP mode 6 and 7 packets
+(i.e. information queries and configuration requests)
+from the source.
+Time service is not affected.
+.It nomodify
+Ignore all NTP mode 6 and 7 packets
+which attempt to modify the state of the server
+(i.e. run time reconfiguration).
+Queries which return information are permitted.
+.It notrap
+Decline to provide mode 6 control message trap service
+to matching hosts.
+The trap service is a subsystem
+of the mode 6 control message protocol
+which is intended for use by remote event logging programs.
+.It lowpriotrap
+Declare traps set by matching hosts to be low priority.
+The number of traps a server can maintain is limited
+(the current limit is 3).
+Traps are usually assigned on a first come,
+first served basis,
+with later trap requestors being denied service.
+This flag modifies the assignment algorithm
+by allowing low priority traps to be overridden
+by later requests for normal priority traps.
+.It noserve
+Ignore NTP packets whose mode is other than 6 or 7.
+In effect,
+time service is denied,
+though queries may still be permitted.
+.It nopeer
+Provide stateless time service to polling hosts,
+but do not allocate peer memory resources to these hosts
+even if they otherwise might be considered useful
+as future synchronization partners.
+.It notrust
+Treat these hosts normally in other respects,
+but never use them as synchronization sources.
+.It limited
+These hosts are subject to limitation
+of number of clients from the same net.
+Net in this context refers to the IP notion of net
+(class A, class B, class C, etc.).
+Only the first
+.Va client_limit
+hosts (see below) that have shown up at the server
+and that have been active during the last
+.Va client_limit_period
+seconds (see below) are accepted.
+Requests from other clients from the same net are rejected.
+Only time request packets are taken into account.
+Query packets sent by the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+programs are not subject to these limits.
+A history of clients is kept using the monitoring capability of
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+Thus, monitoring is always active
+as long as there is a restriction entry with the limited flag.
+.It ntpport
+This is actually a match algorithm modifier,
+rather than a restriction flag.
+Its presence causes the restriction entry to be matched
+only if the source port in the packet
+is the standard NTP UDP port (123).
+Both ntpport and non-ntpport may be specified.
+The ntpport is considered more specific
+and is sorted later in the list.
+.El
+.Pp
+Default restriction list entries,
+with the flags ignore and ntpport,
+for each of the local host's interface addresses
+are inserted into the table at startup
+to prevent the server from attempting to synchronize
+to its own time.
+A default entry is also always present,
+unless if it is otherwise unconfigured;
+no flags are associated with the default entry
+(i.e. everything besides your own NTP server is unrestricted).
+.It clientlimit Ar limit
+Set the
+.Va client_limit
+variable,
+which limits the number of simultaneous access-controlled clients.
+The default value for this variable is 3.
+.It clientperiod Ar period
+Set the
+.Va client_limit_period
+variable,
+which specifies the number of seconds
+after which a client is considered inactive
+and thus no longer is counted for client limit restriction.
+The default value for this variable is 3600 seconds.

+.Dt NTP_AUTH 8
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ntp_auth
+.Nd NTP daemon authentication options
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Pa /etc/ntp.conf
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Authentication support allows the NTP client to verify
+that the server is in fact known and trusted
+and not an intruder intending accidentally
+or on purpose to masquerade as that server.
+The NTPv3 specification RFC 1305 defines a scheme
+which provides cryptographic authentication of received NTP packets.
+Originally, this was done using the Data Encryption Standard (DES)
+operating in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode,
+commonly called DES-CBC.
+Subsequently, this was augmented by the RSA Message Digest 5 (MD5)
+using a private key, commonly called keyed-MD5.
+Either algorithm computes a message digest, or one-way hash,
+which can be used to verify the server has the correct private key
+and key identifier.
+NTPv4 retains this scheme and, in addition,
+provides a new autokey scheme based on reverse hashing
+and public key cryptography.
+Authentication can be configured separately for each association
+using the key or autokey subcommands on the
+.Ic peer Ns ,
+.Ic server Ns ,
+.Ic broadcast
+and
+.Ic manycastclient
+commands as described in the
+.Xr ntp_conf 8
+page.
+.Pp
+The authentication options specify the suite of keys,
+select the key for each configured association
+and manage the configuration operations,
+as described below.
+The auth flag which controls these functions
+can be set or reset by the
+.Ic enable and
+.Ic disable
+configuration commands and also by remote configuration commands
+sent by a
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+program running in another machine.
+If this flag is set, persistent peer associations
+and remote configuration commands are effective
+only if cryptographically authenticated.
+If this flag is disabled,
+these operations are effective
+even if not cryptographic authenticated.
+It should be understood that operating in the latter mode
+invites a significant vulnerability
+where a rogue hacker can seriously disrupt client operations.
+.Pp
+The auth flag affects all authentication procedures described below;
+however, it operates differently
+if cryptographic support is compiled in the distribution.
+If this support is available and the flag is enabled,
+then persistent associations are mobilized
+and remote configuration commands are effective
+only if successfully authenticated.
+If the support is unavailable and the flag is enabled,
+then it is not possible under any conditions
+to mobilize persistent associations
+or respond to remote configuration commands.
+The auth flag normally defaults to set
+if cryptographic support is available and to reset otherwise.
+.Pp
+With the above vulnerabilities in mind,
+it is desirable to set the auth flag in all cases.
+One aspect which is often confusing
+is the name resolution process
+which maps server names in the configuration file to IP addresses.
+In order to protect against bogus name server messages,
+this process is authenticated
+using an internally generated key
+which is normally invisible to the user.
+However, if cryptographic support is unavailable
+and the auth flag is enabled,
+the name resolution process will fail.
+This can be avoided
+either by specifying IP addresses instead of host names,
+which is generally inadvisable,
+or by leaving the flag disabled
+and enabling it once the name resolution process is complete.
+.Pp
+Following is a description
+of the two available cryptographic authentication schemes.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Private Key Scheme
+The original RFC 1305 specification allows any one of possibly
+65,536 keys, each distinguished a 32-bit key identifier,
+to authenticate an association.
+The servers involved must agree on the key
+and key identifier to authenticate their messages.
+Keys and related information are specified in a key file,
+usually called
+.Pq ntp.keys
+which should be exchanged and stored using secure procedures
+beyond the scope of the NTP protocol itself.
+Besides the keys used for ordinary NTP associations,
+additional ones can be used as passwords for the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+utility programs.
+.Pp
+When
+.Xr ntpd 8
+is first started,
+it reads the key file and installs the keys in the key cache.
+However, the keys must be activated
+before they can be used with the trusted command.
+This allows, for instance,
+the installation of possibly several batches of keys
+and then activating or inactivating each batch remotely using
+.Xr ntpdc 8 .
+This also provides a revocation capability
+that can be used if a key becomes compromised.
+The
+.Ic requestkey
+command selects the key used as the password for the
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+utility,
+while the
+.Ic controlkey
+command selects the key used as the password for the the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+utility.
+.It Autokey Scheme
+The original NTPv3 authentication scheme
+described in RFC 1305 continues to be supported.
+In NTPv4,
+an additional authentication scheme called autokey is available.
+It operates much like the S-KEY scheme,
+in that a session key list is constructed
+and the entries used in reverse order.
+A description of the scheme,
+along with a comprehensive security analysis,
+is contained in a technical report
+available from the IETF web page
+.Li http://www.ietf.org/ .
+.Pp
+The autokey scheme is specifically designed for multicast modes,
+where clients normally do not send messages to the server.
+In these modes,
+the server uses the scheme to generate a key list
+by repeated hashing of a secret value.
+The list is used in reverse order
+to generate a unique session key for each message sent.
+The client regenerates the session key
+and verifies the hash matches the previous session key.
+Each message contains the public values
+binding the session key to the secret value,
+but these values need to be verified
+only when the server generates a new key list
+or more than four server messages have been lost.
+.Pp
+The scheme is appropriate for client/server
+and symmetric-peer modes as well.
+In these modes,
+the client generates a session key as in multicast modes.
+The server regenerates the session key
+and uses it to formulates a reply using its own public values.
+The client verifies
+the key identifier of the reply matches the request,
+verifies the public values and validates the message.
+In peer mode, each peer independently generates a key list
+and operates as in the multicast mode.
+.Pp
+The autokey scheme requires no change to the NTP packet header format
+or message authentication code (MAC), which is appended to the header;
+however, if autokey is in use, an extensions field is inserted
+between the header and MAC.
+The extensions field contains a random public value
+which is updated at intervals specified by the revoke command,
+together with related cryptographic values
+used in the signing algorithm.
+The format of the extensions field is defined in
+Internet Draft
+.Li draft-NTP-auth-coexist-00.txt .
+The MAC itself is constructed in the same way as NTPv3,
+but using the original NTP header
+and the extensions field padded to a 64-bit boundary.
+Each new public value is encrypted by the host private value.
+It is the intent of the design, not yet finalized,
+that the public value, encrypted public value,
+public key and certificate be embedded in the extensions field
+where the client can decrypt as needed.
+However, the relatively expensive encryption
+and decryption operations are necessary
+only when the public value is changed.
+.Pp
+Note that both the original NTPv3 authentication scheme
+and the new NTPv4 autokey scheme
+operate separately for each configured association,
+so there may be several session key lists
+operating independently at the same time.
+Since all keys, including session keys,
+occupy the same key cache,
+provisions have been made to avoid collisions,
+where some random roll happens to collide
+with another already generated.
+Since something like four billion different session key identifiers
+are available,
+the chances are small that this might happen.
+If it happens during generation,
+the generator terminates the current session key list.
+By the time the next list is generated,
+the collided key will probably have been expired or revoked.
+.Pp
+While permanent keys have lifetimes that expire
+only when manually revoked,
+random session keys have a lifetime
+specified at the time of generation.
+When generating a key list for an association,
+the lifetime of each key is set to expire
+one poll interval later than it is scheduled to be used.
+The maximum lifetime of any key in the list
+is specified by the
+.Ic autokey
+command.
+Lifetime enforcement is a backup
+to the normal procedure that revokes the last-used key
+at the time the next key on the key list is used.
+.El
+.Ss Authentication Commands
+The following authentication commands are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic keys Ar keyfile
+Specifies the file name containing the encryption keys and
+key identifiers used by
+.Xr ntpd 8 ,
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+when operating in authenticated mode.
+The format of this file is described later in this document.
+.It Xo Ic trustedkey
+.Ar key
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+Specifies the encryption key identifiers which are trusted
+for the purposes of authenticating peers
+suitable for synchronization, as well as keys used by the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+programs.
+The authentication procedures require that
+both the local and remote servers share the same key
+and key identifier for this purpose,
+although different keys can be used with different servers.
+The
+.Ar trustedkey
+arguments are 32-bit unsigned integers
+with values less than 65,536.
+Note that NTP key 0 is used to indicate an invalid key
+and/or key identifier,
+so should not be used for any other purpose.
+.It Ic requestkey Ar key
+Specifies the key identifier to use with the
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+program,
+which uses a proprietary protocol
+specific to this implementation of
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+This program is useful to diagnose and repair problems
+that affect
+.Xr ntpd 8
+operation.
+The
+.Ar key
+argument to this command is a 32-bit key identifier
+for a previously defined trusted key.
+If no
+.Ic requestkey
+command is included in
+the configuration file,
+or if the keys don't match,
+any request to change a server variable with be denied.
+.It Ic controlkey Ar key
+Specifies the key identifier to use with the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+program,
+which uses the standard protocol defined in RFC 1305.
+This program is useful to diagnose and repair problems
+that affect
+.Xr ntpd 8
+operation.
+The
+.Ar key
+argument to this command is a 32-bit key identifier
+for a trusted key in the key cache.
+If no
+.Ic controlkey
+command is included in the configuration file,
+or if the keys don't match,
+any request to change a server variable with be denied.
+.El
+.Ss Authentication Key File Format
+In the case of DES, the keys are 56 bits long with,
+depending on type, a parity check on each byte.
+In the case of MD5, the keys are 64 bits (8 bytes).
+.Xr ntpd 8
+reads its keys from a file specified using the
+.Fl k
+command line option or the
+.Ic keys
+statement in the configuration file.
+While key number 0 is fixed by the NTP standard
+(as 56 zero bits)
+and may not be changed,
+one or more of the keys numbered 1 through 15
+may be arbitrarily set in the keys file.
+.Pp
+The key file uses the same comment conventions
+as the configuration file.
+Key entries use a fixed format of the form
+.Pp
+.Dl keyno type key
+.Pp
+where
+.Ar keyno
+is a positive integer,
+.Ar type
+is a single character which defines the key format,
+and
+.Ar key
+is the key itself.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar key
+may be given in one of three different formats,
+controlled by the
+.Ar type
+character.
+The three key types, and corresponding formats,
+are listed following.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It S
+The
+.Ar key
+is a 64-bit hexadecimal number in the format
+specified in the DES specification;
+that is, the high order seven bits of each octet are used
+to form the 56-bit key
+while the low order bit of each octet is given a value
+such that odd parity is maintained for the octet.
+Leading zeroes must be specified
+(i.e. the key must be exactly 16 hex digits long)
+and odd parity must be maintained.
+Hence a zero
+.Ar key ,
+in standard format, would be given as
+.Li 0101010101010101 .
+.It N
+The
+.Ar key
+is a 64-bit hexadecimal number in the format
+specified in the NTP standard.
+This is the same as the DES format,
+except the bits in each octet have been rotated one bit right
+so that the parity bit is now the high order bit of the octet.
+Leading zeroes must be specified and odd parity must be maintained.
+A zero
+.Ar key
+in NTP format would be specified as
+.Li 8080808080808080 .
+.It A
+The
+.Ar key
+is a 1-to-8 character ASCII string.
+A key is formed from this by using the low order 7 bits
+of each ASCII character in the string,
+with zeroes added on the right
+when necessary to form a full width 56-bit key,
+in the same way that encryption keys are formed from Unix passwords.
+.It M
+The
+.Ar key
+is a 1-to-8 character ASCII string,
+using the MD5 authentication scheme.
+Note that both the keys and the authentication schemes (DES or MD5)
+must be identical between a set of peers sharing the same key number.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that the keys used by the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+programs are checked against passwords
+requested by the programs and entered by hand,
+so it is generally appropriate to specify these keys in ASCII format.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The NTP Version 4 daemon supports many different radio,
+satellite and modem reference clocks
+plus a special pseudo-clock used for backup
+or when no other clock source is available.
+Detailed descriptions of individual device drivers
+and options can be found in the
+.Qo
+Reference Clock Drivers
+.Qc
+page
+(available as part of the HTML documentation
+provided in
+.Pa /usr/share/doc/ntp ) .
+Additional information can be found in the pages referenced there,
+including the
+.Qo
+Debugging Hints for Reference Clock Drivers
+.Qc
+and
+.Qo
+How To Write a Reference Clock Driver
+.Qc
+pages.
+In many drivers,
+support for a PPS signal is available as described in the
+.Qo
+Pulse-per-second (PPS) Signal Interfacing
+.Qc
+page.
+Many drivers support special line discipline/streams modules
+which can significantly improve the accuracy using the driver.
+These are described in the
+.Qo
+Line Disciplines and Streams Drivers
+.Qc
+page.
+.Pp
+A reference clock will generally (though not always)
+be a radio timecode receiver
+which is synchronized to a source of standard time
+such as the services offered by the NRC in Canada
+and NIST and USNO in the United States.
+The interface between the computer and the timecode receiver
+is device dependent, but is usually a serial port.
+A device driver specific to each reference clock
+must be selected and compiled in the distribution;
+however, most common radio, satellite and modem clocks
+are included by default.
+Note that an attempt to configure a reference clock
+when the driver has not been included
+or the hardware port has not been appropriately configured
+results in a scalding remark to the system log file,
+but is not otherwise hazardous.
+.Pp
+For the purposes of configuration,
+.Xr ntpd 8
+treats reference clocks in a manner
+analogous to normal NTP peers as much as possible.
+Reference clocks are identified by a syntactically correct
+but invalid IP address,
+in order to distinguish them from normal NTP peers.
+Reference clock addresses are of the form 127.127.t.u,
+where
+.Ar t
+is an integer denoting the clock type and
+.Ar u
+indicates the unit number.
+While it may seem overkill,
+it is in fact sometimes useful
+to configure multiple reference clocks of the same type,
+in which case the unit numbers must be unique.

+The

+command is used to configure a reference clock,
+where the address argument in that command is the clock address.
+The key,

+The mode option is added for reference clock support,
+as described below.
+The prefer option can be useful
+to persuade the server to cherish a reference clock
+with somewhat more enthusiasm than other reference clocks or peers.
+Further information on this option can be found in the

+The stratum number of a reference clock is by default zero.
+Since the

+a primary server ordinarily displays stratum one.
+In order to provide engineered backups,
+it is often useful to specify the reference clock stratum
+as greater than zero.
+The stratum option is used for this purpose.
+Also, in cases involving both a reference clock
+and a pulse-per-second (PPS) discipline signal,
+it is useful to specify the reference clock identifier
+as other than the default, depending on the driver.
+The refid option is used for this purpose.

+Following is a description of the configuration commands in NTPv4.
+These commands have the same basic functions as in NTPv3
+and in some cases new functions and new operands.
+The various modes are determined by the command keyword
+and the type of the required IP address.
+Addresses are classed by type as
+(s) a remote server or peer (IP class A, B and C),
+(b) the broadcast address of a local interface,
+(m) a multicast address (IP class D),
+or (r) a reference clock address (127.127.x.x).
+Note that,
+while autokey and burst modes are supported by these commands,
+their effect in some weird mode combinationscan be meaningless
+or even destructive.

+The address can be
+either a DNS name
+or an IP address in dotted-quad notation.
+Additional information on association behavior can be found in

+page
+(available as part of the HTML documentation

+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic peer
+For type s addresses (only),
+this operates as the current peer command,
+which mobilizes a persistent symmetric-active mode association,
+except that additional modes are available.
+This command should
+.Em not
+be used for type b, m or r addresses.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ic peer
+command specifies that the local server is to operate
+in symmetric active mode with the remote server.
+In this mode,
+the local server can be synchronized to the remote server
+and, in addition,
+the remote server can be synchronized by the local server.
+This is useful in a network of servers where,
+depending on various failure scenarios,
+either the local or remote server may be the better source of time.
+.It Ic server
+For type s and r addresses,
+this operates as the NTPv3 server command,
+which mobilizes a persistent client mode association.
+The server command specifies
+that the local server is to operate in client mode
+with the specified remote server.
+In this mode,
+the local server can be synchronized to the remote server,
+but the remote server can never be synchronized to the local server.
+.It Ic broadcast
+For type b and m addresses (only),
+this is operates as the current NTPv3 broadcast command,
+which mobilizes a persistent broadcast mode association,
+except that additional modes are available.
+Multiple commands can be used
+to specify multiple local broadcast interfaces (subnets)
+and/or multiple multicast groups.
+Note that local broadcast messages go only to the interface
+associated with the subnet specified,
+but multicast messages go to all interfaces.
+In the current implementation,
+the source address used for these messages
+is the Unix host default address.
+.Pp
+In broadcast mode,
+the local server sends periodic broadcast messages
+to a client population at the address specified,
+which is usually the broadcast address
+on (one of) the local network(s)
+or a multicast address assigned to NTP.
+The IANA has assigned the multicast group address 224.0.1.1
+exclusively to NTP,
+but other non-conflicting addresses can be used
+to contain the messages within administrative boundaries.
+Ordinarily, this specification applies
+only to the local server operating as a sender;
+for operation as a broadcast client,
+see the
+.Ic broadcastclient
+or
+.Ic multicastclient
+commands below.
+.It Ic manycastclient
+For type m addresses (only),
+this mobilizes a manycast client-mode association
+for the multicast address specified.
+In this case a specific address must be supplied
+which matches the address used on the
+.Ic manycastserver
+command for the designated manycast servers.
+The NTP multicast address 224.0.1.1 assigned by the IANA should
+.Em not
+be used,
+unless specific means are taken
+to avoid spraying large areas of the Internet
+with these messages
+and causing a possibly massive implosion of replies at the sender.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ic manycastclient
+command specifies
+that the local server is to operate in client mode
+with the remote servers
+that are discovered as the result of broadcast/multicast messages.
+The client broadcasts a request message
+to the group address associated with the specified address
+and specifically enabled servers respond to these messages.
+The client selects the servers providing the best time
+and continues as with the
+.Ic server
+command.
+The remaining servers are discarded as if never heard.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following options to these commands are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It autokey
+All packets sent to the address
+are to include authentication fields
+encrypted using the autokey scheme.
+.It burst
+At each poll interval,
+send a burst of eight packets spaced,
+instead of the usual one.
+.It key Ar key
+All packets sent to the address
+are to include authentication fields
+encrypted using the specified key identifier,
+which is an unsigned 32-bit integer
+less than 65536.
+The default is to include no encryption field.
+.It version Ar version
+Specifies the version number to be used for outgoing NTP packets.
+Versions 1-4 are the choices, with version 4 the default.
+.It prefer
+Marks the server as preferred.
+All other things being equal,
+this host will be chosen for synchronization
+among a set of correctly operating hosts.
+See the
+.Qo
+Mitigation Rules and the prefer Keyword
+.Qc
+page
+for further information.
+.It ttl Ar ttl
+This option is used only with broadcast mode.
+It specifies the time-to-live (TTL) to use
+on multicast packets.
+Selection of the proper value,
+which defaults to 127,
+is something of a black art
+and must be coordinated with the network administrator.
+.It minpoll Ar minpoll
+.It maxpoll Ar maxpoll
+These options specify the minimum
+and maximum polling intervals for NTP messages,
+in seconds to the power of two.
+The default range is 6 (64 s) to 10 (1,024 s).
+The allowable range is 4 (16 s) to 17 (36.4 h) inclusive.
+.El
+.It Ic broadcastclient
+This command directs the local server to listen for and respond
+to broadcast messages received on any local interface.
+Upon hearing a broadcast message for the first time,
+the local server measures the nominal network delay
+using a brief client/server exchange with the remote server,
+then enters the broadcastclient mode,
+in which it listens for
+and synchronizes to succeeding broadcast messages.
+Note that,
+in order to avoid accidental or malicious disruption in this mode,
+both the local and remote servers should operate
+using authentication and the same trusted key and key identifier.
+.It Xo Ic multicastclient
+.Op Ar address
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+This command directs the local serverto listen for
+multicast messages at the group address(es)
+of the global network.
+The default address is that assigned by the Numbers Czar
+to NTP (224.0.1.1).
+This command operates in the same way as the
+.Ic broadcastclient
+command, but uses IP multicasting.
+Support for this command requires a multicast kernel.
+.It Ic driftfile Ar driftfile
+This command specifies the name of the file used
+to record the frequency offset of the local clock oscillator.
+If the file exists,
+it is read at startup in order to set the initial frequency offset
+and then updated once per hour with the current frequency offset
+computed by the daemon.
+If the file does not exist or this command is not given,
+the initial frequency offset is assumed zero.
+In this case,
+it may take some hours for the frequency to stabilize
+and the residual timing errors to subside.
+.Pp
+The file format consists of a single line
+containing a single floating point number,
+which records the frequency offset
+measured in parts-per-million (PPM).
+The file is updated by first writing the current drift value
+into a temporary file
+and then renaming this file to replace the old version.
+This implies that
+.Nm
+must have write permission for the directory
+the drift file is located in,
+and that file system links, symbolic or otherwise, should be avoided.
+.It Xo Ic manycastserver
+.Ar address
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+This command directs the local server to listen for
+and respond to broadcast messages received on any local interface,
+and in addition enables the server to respond
+to client mode messages to the multicast group address(es)
+(type m) specified.
+At least one address is required,
+but the NTP multicast address 224.0.1.1
+assigned by the IANA should
+.Em not
+be used,
+unless specific means are taken to limit the span of the reply
+and avoid a possibly massive implosion at the original sender.
+.It Xo Ic revoke
+.Op Ar logsec
+.Xc
+Specifies the interval between recomputations
+of the private value used with the autokey feature,
+which ordinarily requires an expensive public-key computation.
+The default value is 12 (65,536 s or about 18 hours).
+For poll intervals above the specified interval,
+a new private value will be recomputed for every message sent.
+.It Xo Ic autokey
+.Op Ar logsec
+.Xc
+Specifies the interval between regenerations
+of the session key list used with the autokey feature.
+Note that the size of the key list for each association
+depends on this interval and the current poll interval.
+The default value is 12 (4096 s or about 1.1 hours).
+For poll intervals above the specified interval,
+a session key list with a single entry
+will be regenerated for every message sent.
+.It Xo Ic enable
+.Op Ar flag
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+.It Xo Ic disable
+.Op Ar flag
+.Op ...
+.Xc
+Provides a way to enable or disable various server options.
+Flags not mentioned are unaffected.
+Note that all of these flags can be controlled remotely
+using the
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+utility program.
+Following is a description of the flags.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It auth
+Enables the server to synchronize with unconfigured peers
+only if the peer has been correctly authenticated
+using a trusted key and key identifier.
+The default for this flag is enable.
+.It bclient
+When enabled, this is identical to the broadcastclient
+command.
+The default for this flag is disable.
+.It kernel
+Enables the precision-time kernel support
+for the
+.Xr ntp_adjtime 2
+system call, if implemented.
+Ordinarily, support for this routine is detected automatically
+when the NTP daemon is compiled,
+so it is not necessary for the user to worry about this flag.
+It provided primarily so that this support can be disabled
+during kernel development.
+.It monitor
+Enables the monitoring facility.
+See the
+.Ic monlist
+command of the

+further information.
+The default for this flag is enable.
+.It ntp
+Enables the server to adjust its local clock by means of NTP.
+If disabled,

+This flag is useful in case the local clock is controlled
+by some other device or protocol and NTP is used
+only to provide synchronization to other clients.
+In this case,
+the local clock driver can be used to provide this function
+and also certain time variables for error estimates

+.Nd NTP daemon miscellaneous options
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Pa /etc/ntp.conf
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The following miscellaneous configuration options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic broadcastdelay Ar seconds
+The broadcast and multicast modes require a special calibration
+to determine the network delay between the local and remote
+servers.
+Ordinarily, this is done automatically
+by the initial protocol exchanges
+between the local and remote servers.
+In some cases, the calibration procedure may fail
+due to network or server access controls, for example.
+This command specifies
+the default delay to be used under these circumstances.
+Typically (for Ethernet),
+a number between 0.003 and 0.007 seconds is appropriate.
+The default when this command is not used is 0.004 seconds.
+.It Xo Ic trap
+.Ar host_address
+.Op port Ar port_number
+.Op interface Ar interface_address
+.Xc
+This command configures a trap receiver
+at the given host address and port number
+for sending messages with the specified local interface address.
+If the port number is unspecified, a value of 18447 is used.
+If the interface address is not specified,
+the message is sent with a source address of the local interface
+the message is sent through.
+Note that on a multihomed host
+the interface used may vary from time to time
+with routing changes.
+The trap receiver will generally log event messages
+and other information from the server in a log file.
+While such monitor programs
+may also request their own trap dynamically,
+configuring a trap receiver
+will ensure that no messages are lost when the server is started.
+.It Ic setvar Ar variable Op default
+This command adds an additional system variable.
+These variables can be used
+to distribute additional information such as the access policy.
+If the variable of the form
+.Va name
+=
+.Ar value
+is followed by the default keyword,
+the variable will be listed
+as part of the default system variables
+(see the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+.Ic rv
+command).
+These additional variables serve informational purposes only.
+They are not related to the protocol
+other that they can be listed.
+The known protocol variables will always override any variables
+defined via the
+.Ic setvar
+mechanism.
+There are three special variables
+that contain the names of all variables of the same group.
+The
+.Va sys_var_list
+holds the names of all system variables.
+The
+.Va peer_var_list
+holds the names of all peer variables and the
+.Va clock_var_list
+holds the names of the reference clock variables.
+.It Ic logfile Ar logfile
+This command specifies the location of an alternate log file
+to be used instead of the default system
+.Xr syslog 3
+facility.
+.It Ic logconfig Ar configkeyword
+This command controls the amount and type of output
+written to the system
+.Xr syslog 3
+facility or the alternate
+.Ic logfile
+log file.
+By default, all output is turned on.
+All
+.Ar configkeyword
+keywords can be prefixed with =, + and -,
+where = sets the syslogmask,
++ adds and - removes messages.
+.Xr syslog 3
+messages can be controlled
+in four classes (clock, peer, sys and sync).
+Within these classes
+four types of messages can be controlled.
+Informational messages (info) control configuration information.
+Event messages (events) control logging of events
+(reachability, synchronization, alarm conditions).
+Statistical output is controlled with the
+.Ic statistics
+keyword.
+The final message group is the status messages.
+This describes mainly the synchronizations status.
+.Pp
+Configuration keywords are formed
+by concatenating the message class with the event class.
+The all prefix can be used instead of a message class.
+A message class may also be followed by the all keyword
+to enable/disable all messages of the respective message class.
+Thus, a minimal log configuration could look like this:
+.Pp
+.Dl logconfig = syncstatus +sysevents
+.Pp
+This would just list the synchronizations state of
+.Xr ntpd 8
+and the major system events.
+For a simple reference server,
+the following minimum message configuration could be useful:
+.Pp
+.Dl logconfig = syncall +clockall
+.Pp
+This configuration will list all clock information
+and synchronization information.
+All other events and messages about peers,
+system events and so on is suppressed.
+.El
+.Ss Variables
+Most variables used by the NTP protocol
+can be examined with
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+(mode 7 messages) and
+.Xr ntpq 8 (mode 6 messages).
+Currently, very few variables can be modified via mode 6 messages.
+These variables are either created with the
+.Ic setvar
+directive or the leap warning bits.
+The leap warning bits can be set in the
+.Va leapwarning
+variable up to one month ahead.
+Both the
+.Va leapwarning
+and
+.Va leapindication
+variables have a slightly different encoding
+than the usual leap bits interpretation:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It 00
+The daemon passes the leap bits of its synchronization source
+(usual mode of operation).
+.It 01
+.It 10
+A leap second is added/deleted (operator forced leap second).
+.It 11
+Leap information from the synchronizations source is ignored
+(thus
+.Dv LEAP_NOWARNING
+is passed on).

+Configures setting of generation file set name.
+Generation file sets provide a means for handling files
+that are continuously growing during the lifetime of a server.
+Server statistics are a typical example for such files.
+Generation file sets provide
+access to a set of files used to store the actual data.
+At any time at most one element of the set is being written to.
+The type given specifies when and how data will be directed
+to a new element of the set.
+This way, information stored in elements of a file set
+that are currently unused are available for administrative operations
+without the risk of disturbing the operation of
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+Most importantly,
+they can be removed to free space for new data produced.
+.Pp
+Note that this command can be sent from the

+program running at a remote location.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It name
+This is the type of the statistics records,
+as shown in the
+.Ic statistics
+command.
+.It file Ar filename
+This is the file name for the statistics records.
+Filenames of set members are built from three elements:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It prefix
+This is a constant filename path.
+It is not subject to modifications via the
+.Ic filegen
+option.
+It is defined by the server,
+usually specified as a compile-time constant.
+It may, however, be configurable for individual file generation sets
+via other commands.
+For example, the prefix used with loopstats and peerstats generation
+can be configured using the
+.Ic statsdir
+option explained above.
+.Ar filename
+This string is directly concatenated to the prefix mentioned above
+(no intervening
+.Qq /
+(slash)) .
+This can be modified using the
+.Ar filename
+argument to the
+.Ic filegen
+statement.
+No
+.Qq ..
+elements are allowed in this component
+to prevent filenames referring to parts
+outside the filesystem hierarchy denoted by prefix.
+.Ic suffix
+This part is reflects individual elements of a file set.
+It is generated according to the type of a file set.
+.El
+.It type Ar typename
+A file generation set is characterized by its type.
+The following types are supported:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It none
+The file set is actually a single plain file.
+.It pid
+One element of file set is used per incarnation of a
+.Xr ntpd 8
+server.
+This type does not perform any changes
+to file set members during runtime,
+however it provides an easy way of separating files
+belonging to different
+.Xr ntpd 8
+server incarnations.
+The set member filename is built by appending a
+.Qq \&.
+(dot) to concatenated prefix and
+.Ar filename
+strings,
+and appending the decimal representation
+of the process ID of the
+.Xr ntpd 8
+server process.
+.It day
+One file generation set element is created per day.
+A day is defined as the period between 00:00 and 24:00 UTC.
+The file set member suffix consists of a
+.Qq \&.
+(dot) and a day specification in the form YYYYMMDD.
+YYYY is a 4-digit year number (e.g. 1992).
+MM is a two digit month number.
+DD is a two digit day number.
+Thus, all information written at 10 December 1992
+would end up in a file named
+.Pa <prefix><filename>.19921210 .
+.It week
+Any file set member contains data
+related to a certain week of a year.
+The term week is defined by computing the day of the year modulo 7.
+Elements of such a file generation set are distinguished
+by appending the following suffix to the file set
+.Ar filename
+base:
+A dot, a 4-digit year number, the letter W,
+and a 2-digit week number.
+For example, information from January, 10th 1992
+would end up in a file with suffix .1992W1.
+.It month
+One generation file set element is generated per month.
+The file name suffix consists of a dot, a 4-digit year number,
+and a 2-digit month.
+.It year
+One generation file element is generated per year.
+The filename suffix consists of a dot and a 4 digit year number.
+.It age
+This type of file generation sets changes to a new element
+of the file set every 24 hours of server operation.
+The filename suffix consists of a dot, the letter a,
+and an 8-digit number.
+This number is taken to be the number of seconds
+the server has been running
+at the start of the corresponding 24-hour period.
+Information is only written to a file generation
+by specifying enable; output is prevented by specifying disable.
+.It link | nolink
+It is convenient to be able to access the current element
+of a file generation set by a fixed name.
+This feature is enabled by specifying link
+and disabled using nolink.
+If link is specified,
+a hard link from the current file set element
+to a file without suffix is created.
+When there is already a file with this name
+and the number of links of this file is one,
+it is renamed appending a dot, the letter C,
+and the pid of the
+.Xr ntpd
+server process.
+When the number of links is greater than one,
+the file is unlinked.
+This allows the current file to be accessed by a constant name.
+.It enable | disable
+Enables or disables the recording function.

+.Op Fl k Ar keyfile

+.Op Fl p Ar pidfile
+.Op Fl r Ar broadcastdelay

+.Op Fl V Ar variable
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is an operating system daemon
+which sets and maintains the system time-of-day
+in synchronism with Internet standard time servers.
+.Nm
+is a complete implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
+version 4,
+but also retains compatibility with version 3,
+as defined by RFC 1305,
+and version 1 and 2,
+as defined by RFC 1059 and RFC 1119,
+respectively.
+.Nm
+does most computations in 64-bit floating point arithmetic
+and does relatively clumsy 64-bit fixed point operations
+only when necessary to preserve the ultimate precision,
+about 232 picoseconds.
+While the ultimate precision is not achievable
+with ordinary workstations and networks of today,
+it may be required with future nanosecond CPU clocks and gigabit LANs.
+.Pp
+The daemon can operate in any of several modes,
+including symmetric active/passive,
+client/server broadcast/multicast and manycast.
+A broadcast/multicast or manycast client can discover remote servers,
+compute server-client propagation delay correction factors
+and configure itself automatically.
+This makes it possible to deploy a fleet of workstations
+without specifying configuration details
+specific to the local environment.
+.Pp
+Ordinarily,
+.Nm
+reads the
+.Pa ntp.conf
+configuration file at startup time
+in order to determine the synchronization sources and operating modes.
+It is also possible to specify a working, although limited,
+configuration entirely on the command line,
+obviating the need for a configuration file.
+This may be particularly appropriate
+when the local host is to be configured
+as a broadcast/multicast client or manycast client,
+with all peers being determined
+by listening to broadcasts at run time.
+.Pp
+If NetInfo support is built into
+.Nm Ns ,
+then
+.Nm
+will attempt to read its configuration from the NetInfo
+if the default configuration file cannot be read
+and no file is specified by the
+.Fl c
+option.
+.Pp
+Various
+internal
+.Nm
+variables can be displayed and configuration options altered
+while the daemon is running
+through use of the
+.Xr ntpq 8
+and
+.Xr ntpdc 8
+programs.
+.Pp
+When
+.Nm
+starts it looks at the value of
+.Xr umask 2
+and if it is zero,
+.Nm
+will set it to 022.
+.Pp
+The following command line options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl a
+Enable authentication mode (default).
+.It Fl A
+Disable authentication mode.
+.It Fl b
+Synchronize using NTP broadcast messages.
+.It Fl c Ar conffile
+Specify the name and path of the configuration file.
+.It Fl d
+Specify debugging mode.
+This flag may occur multiple times,
+with each occurrence indicating greater detail of display.
+.It Fl D Ar level
+Specify debugging level directly.
+.It Fl f Ar driftfile
+Specify the name and path of the drift file.
+.It Fl g
+Normally, the daemon exits
+if the offset exceeds a 1000 s sanity limit.
+This option overrides this limit
+and allows the time to be set to any value without restriction.
+.It Fl k Ar keyfile
+Specify the name and path of the file
+containing the NTP authentication keys.
+.It Fl l Ar logfile
+Specify the name and path of the log file.
+The default is the system log facility.
+.It Fl m
+Synchronize using NTP multicast messages
+on the IP multicast group address 224.0.1.1
+(requires multicast kernel).
+.It Fl p Ar pidfile
+Specify the name and path to record the daemon's process ID.
+.It Fl P
+Override the priority limit set by the operating system.
+Not recommended for sissies.
+.It Fl r Ar broadcastdelay
+Specify the default propagation delay
+between the broadcast/multicast server and this computer.
+This is necessary
+only if the delay cannot be computed automatically by the protocol.
+.It Fl s Ar statsdir
+Specify the directory path for files created by the statistics
+facility.
+.It Fl t Ar key
+Add a key number to the trusted key list.
+.It Fl v Ar variable
+.It Fl V Ar variable
+Add a system variable listed by default.
+.It Fl x
+Ordinarily, if the time is to be adjusted more than 128 ms,
+it is stepped, not gradually slewed.
+This option forces the time to be slewed in all cases.
+Note: since the slew rate is limited to 0.5 ms/s,
+each second of adjustment requires an amortization interval of 2000 s.
+Thus, an adjustment of many seconds can take hours or days to amortize.
+.El
+.Ss The Configuration File
+The
+.Nm
+configuration file is read at initial startup by the
+.Xr ntpd 8
+daemon in order to specify the synchronization sources,
+modes and other related information.
+Usually, it is installed in the
+.Pa /etc
+directory,
+but could be installed elsewhere
+(see the daemon's
+.Fl c
+command line option).
+.Pp
+The file format is similar to other Unix configuration files.
+Comments begin with a
+.Qq #
+character and extend to the end of the line;
+blank lines are ignored.
+Configuration commands consist of an initial keyword
+followed by a list of arguments,
+some of which may be optional, separated by whitespace.
+Commands may not be continued over multiple lines.
+Arguments may be host names,
+host addresses written in numeric, dotted-quad form,
+integers, floating point numbers (when specifying times in seconds)
+and text strings.
+.Pp
+See the following pages for configuration and control options.
+While there is a rich set of options available,
+the only required option is one or more

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+sets the local date and time by polling the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
+server(s) given as the
+.Ar server
+arguments to determine
+the correct time. It must be run as root on the local host. A number
+of samples are obtained from each of the servers specified
+and a subset of the NTP clock filter and selection algorithms
+are applied to select the best of these.
+Note that the accuracy and reliability of
+.Nm
+depends on the number of servers,
+the number of polls each time it is run
+and the interval between runs.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+can be run manually as necessary to set the host clock,
+or it can be run from the host startup script
+to set the clock at boot time.
+This is useful in some cases to set the clock initially
+before starting the NTP daemon
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+It is also possible to run
+.Nm
+from a
+.Xr cron 8
+script.
+However, it is important to note that
+.Nm
+with contrived cron scripts is no substitute for the NTP daemon,
+which uses sophisticated algorithms to maximize accuracy and reliability
+while minimizing resource use.
+Finally, since
+.Nm
+does not discipline the host clock frequency as does
+.Xr ntpd 8 ,
+the accuracy using
+.Nm
+is limited.
+.Pp
+Time adjustments are made by
+.Nm
+in one of two ways. If
+.Nm
+determines the clock is in error more than 0.5 second it will simply
+step the time by calling the system
+.Xr settimeofday 2
+routine.
+If the error is less than 0.5 seconds, it will slew the time
+by calling the system
+.Xr adjtime 2
+routine.
+The latter technique is less disruptive and more
+accurate when the error is small, and works quite well when
+.Nm
+is run by
+.Xr cron 8
+every hour or two.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+will decline to set the date if an NTP server daemon
+(e.g.,
+.Xr ntpd 8 )
+is running on the same host.
+When running
+.Nm
+on a regular basis from
+.Xr cron 8
+as an alternative to running a daemon,
+doing so once every hour or two
+will result in precise enough timekeeping
+to avoid stepping the clock.
+.Pp
+If NetInfo support is compiled into
+.Nm Ns ,
+then the server argument is optional if
+.Nm
+can find a time server in the NetInfo configuration for
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl a Ar key
+Enable the authentication function
+and specify the key identifier to be used
+for authentication as the argument
+.Ar key .
+The keys and key identifiers must match
+in both the client and server key files.
+The default is to disable the authentication function.
+.It Fl B
+Force the time to always be slewed using the
+.Xr adjtime 2
+system call,
+even if the measured offset is greater than +-128 ms.
+The default is to step the time using
+.Xr settimeofday 2
+if the offset is greater than +-128 ms.
+Note that,
+if the offset is much greater than +-128 ms in this case,
+it can take a long time (hours)
+to slew the clock to the correct value.
+During this time,
+the host should not be used to synchronize clients.
+.It Fl b
+Force the time to be stepped using the
+.Xr settimeofday 2
+system call,
+rather than slewed (default) using the
+.Xr adjtime 2
+system call.
+This option should be used
+when called from a startup file at boot time.
+.It Fl d
+Enable the debugging mode,
+in which
+.Nm
+will go through all the steps,
+but not adjust the local clock.
+Information useful for general debugging will also be printed.
+.It Fl e Ar authdelay
+Specify the processing delay
+to perform an authentication function as the value
+.Ar authdelay ,
+in seconds and fraction
+(see
+.Xr ntpd 8
+for details).
+This number is usually small enough
+to be negligible for most purposes,
+though specifying a value
+may improve timekeeping on very slow CPU's.
+.It Fl k Ar keyfile
+Specify the path for the authentication key file
+as the string
+.Ar keyfile .
+The default is
+.Pa /etc/ntp.keys .
+This file should be in the format described in
+.Xr ntpd 8 .
+.It Fl o Ar version
+Specify the NTP version for outgoing packets as the integer
+.Ar version ,
+which can be 1 or 2.
+The default is 3.
+This allows
+.Nm
+to be used with older NTP versions.
+.It Fl p Ar samples
+Specify the number of samples to be acquired from each server
+as the integer
+.Ar samples ,
+with values from 1 to 8 inclusive.
+The default is 4.
+.It Fl q
+Query only - don't set the clock.
+.It Fl s
+Divert logging output from the standard output (default)
+to the system

+facility.
+This is designed primarily for convenience of

+scripts.
+.It Fl t timeout
+Specify the maximum time waiting for a server response
+as the value
+.Ar timeout ,
+in seconds and fraction.
+The value is rounded to a multiple of 0.2 seconds.
+The default is 1 second,

+to use an unprivileged port for outgoing packets.
+This is most useful when behind a firewall
+that blocks incoming traffic to privileged ports,

+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ntpdc
+.Op Fl ilnps
+.Op Fl c Ar command
+.Op Ar host ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is used to query the
+.Xr ntpd 8
+daemon about its current state and to request changes in that state.
+The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using
+command line arguments.
+Extensive state and statistics information is
+available through the
+.Nm
+interface.
+In addition, nearly all the configuration options which can
+be specified at start up using
+.Xr ntpd 8 Ns 's
+configuration file may also be specified at run time using
+.Nm Ns .
+.Pp
+If one or more request options is included on the command line when
+.Nm
+is executed, each of the requests will be sent to the NTP servers
+running on each of the hosts given as command line arguments, or on
+.Dq localhost
+by default.
+If no request options are given,
+.Nm
+will attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these
+on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line,
+again defaulting to
+.Dq localhost
+when no other host is specified.
+.Nm
+will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+uses NTP mode 7 packets to communicate with the NTP server,
+and hence can be used to query any compatible server on the network
+which permits it.
+Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol
+this communication will be
+somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms of network
+topology.
+.Nm
+makes no attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if
+the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time.
+.Pp
+The operation of
+.Nm
+is specific to the particular implementation of the
+.Xr ntpd 8
+daemon and can be expected to work only with this
+and maybe some previous versions of the daemon.

+program which affect the state of the local server
+must be authenticated,
+which requires both the remote program
+and local server
+share a common key and key identifier.
+.Pp
+Specifying a command line option other than
+.Fl i
+or
+.Fl n
+will cause the specified query (queries)
+to be sent to the indicated host(s) immediately.
+Otherwise,
+.Nm
+will attempt to read interactive format commands from the standard
+input.
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl c Ar command
+The
+.Ar command
+argument is interpreted as an interactive format command
+and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the specified
+host(s).
+Multiple
+.Fl c
+options may be given.
+.It Fl i
+Force
+.Nm
+to operate in interactive mode.
+Prompts will be written to the standard
+output and commands read from the standard input.
+.It Fl l
+Obtain a list of peers which are known to the server(s).
+This switch is equivalent to
+.Dq Li -c listpeers .
+.It Fl n
+Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than
+converting to the canonical host names.
+.It Fl p
+Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of
+their state.
+This is equivalent to
+.Dq Li -c peers .
+.It Fl s
+Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of
+their state, but in a slightly different format than the
+.Fl p
+switch.
+This is equivalent to
+.Dq Li -c dmpeers .
+.El
+.Ss Interactive Commands
+Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero to
+four arguments.
+Only enough characters of the full keyword to uniquely
+identify the command need be typed.
+The output of a command is normally
+sent to the standard output, but optionally the output of individual
+commands may be sent to a file by appending a
+.Qq > ,
+followed by a
+file name, to the command line.
+.Pp
+A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the
+.Nm
+program itself and do not result in
+NTP mode 7 requests being sent to a server.
+These are described following:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic ? Op Ar command_keyword
+.It Ic help Op Ar command_keyword
+A
+.Ic ?
+by itself will print a list of all the command keywords
+known to this incarnation of
+.Nm Ns .
+A
+.Ic ?
+followed by a command keyword will print function and
+usage information about the command.
+This command is probably a better
+source of information about
+.Nm
+than this manual page.
+.It Ic delay Ar milliseconds
+Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in requests
+which require authentication.
+This is used to enable (unreliable) server
+reconfiguration over long delay network paths or between machines whose
+clocks are unsynchronized.
+Actually the server does not now require
+timestamps in authenticated requests,
+so this command may be obsolete.
+.It Ic host Ar hostname
+Set the host to which future queries will be sent.
+The
+.Ar hostname
+supplied
+may be either a host name or a numeric
+address.
+.It Ic hostnames Ar yes | Ar no
+If
+.Ar yes
+is specified, host names are printed in information
+displays.
+If
+.Ar no
+is given, numeric addresses are printed
+instead.
+The default is
+.Ar yes
+unless modified using the command line
+.Fl n
+switch.
+.It Ic keyid Ar keyid
+This command allows the specification of a key number to be used to
+authenticate configuration requests.
+This must correspond to a key
+number the server has been configured to use for this purpose.
+.It Ic quit
+Exit
+.Nm Ns .
+.It Ic passwd
+This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not be
+echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration requests.
+The
+password must correspond to the key configured for use by the NTP server
+for this purpose if such requests are to be successful.
+.It Ic timeout Ar milliseconds
+Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries.
+The default
+is about 5000 milliseconds.
+Note that since
+.Nm
+retries each query once after a timeout, the total waiting time for a
+timeout will be twice the timeout value set.
+.El
+.Ss Control Message Commands
+Query commands result in
+NTP mode 7 packets containing requests for
+information being sent to the server.
+These are
+.Qq read-only
+commands in that they make no modification of the server configuration
+state.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic listpeers
+Obtain and print a brief list of the peers for which the server is
+maintaining state.
+These should include all configured peer associations
+as well as those peers whose stratum is such that they are considered by
+the server to be possible future synchronization candidates.
+.It Ic peers
+Obtain a list of peers for which the server is maintaining state, along
+with a summary of that state.
+Summary information includes the address
+of the remote peer, the local interface address (0.0.0.0 if a local
+address has yet to be determined), the stratum of the remote peer (a
+stratum of 16 indicates the remote peer is unsynchronized), the polling
+interval, in seconds, the reachability register, in octal, and the
+current estimated delay, offset and dispersion of the peer, all in
+seconds.
+In addition, the character in the left margin indicates the
+mode this peer entry is operating in.
+A
+.Qq +
+denotes symmetric
+active, a
+.Qq -
+indicates symmetric passive, a
+.Qq =
+means
+the remote server is being polled in client mode, a
+.Qq ^
+indicates that the server is broadcasting to this address, a
+.Qq ~
+denotes that the remote peer is sending broadcasts and a
+.Qq *
+marks the peer the server is currently synchronizing to.
+.Pp
+The contents of the host field may be one of four forms.
+It may be a
+host name, an IP address, a reference clock implementation name with its
+parameter or
+.Dq Li REFCLK(<implementation number>, <parameter>) .
+On hostnames no
+only IP addresses will be displayed.
+.It Ic dmpeers
+A slightly different peer summary list.
+Identical to the output of the
+.Em peers
+command except for the character in the leftmost column.
+Characters only
+appear beside peers which were included in the final stage of the clock
+selection algorithm.
+A
+.Qq \&.
+indicates that this peer was cast off
+in the falseticker detection, while a
+.Qq +
+indicates that the
+peer made it through.
+A
+.Qq *
+denotes the peer the server is
+currently synchronizing with.
+.It Xo Ic showpeer
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar ...
+.Xc
+Show a detailed display of the current peer variables for one or more
+peers.
+Most of these values are described in the
+NTP Version 2 specification.
+.It Xo Ic pstats
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar ...
+.Xc
+Show per-peer statistic counters associated with the specified peer(s).
+.It Xo Ic clockinfo
+.Ar clock_peer_address
+.Op Ar ...
+.Xc
+Obtain and print information concerning a peer clock.
+The values
+obtained provide information on the setting of fudge factors and other
+clock performance information.
+.It Ic kerninfo
+Obtain and print kernel phase-lock loop operating parameters.
+This information is available
+only if the kernel has been specially modified
+for a precision timekeeping function.
+.It Ic loopinfo Op Ar oneline | Ar multiline
+Print the values of selected loop filter variables.
+The loop filter is
+the part of
+NTP which deals with adjusting the local system clock.
+The
+.Qq offset
+is the last offset given to the loop filter by the
+packet processing code.
+The
+.Qq frequency
+is the frequency error
+of the local clock in parts-per-million (ppm).
+The
+.Qq time_const
+controls the
+.Qq stiffness
+of the phase-lock loop and thus the speed at
+which it can adapt to oscillator drift.
+The
+.Qq watchdog timer
+value is the number of seconds which have elapsed since the last sample
+offset was given to the loop filter.
+The
+.Ar oneline
+and
+.Ar multiline
+options specify the format in which this information
+is to be printed, with
+.Ar multiline
+as the default.
+.It Ic sysinfo
+Print a variety of system state variables, i.e. state related to the
+local server.
+All except the last four lines are described in the
+NTP Version 3 specification, RFC 1305.
+The
+.Qq system flags
+show various system flags, some of which can be set and cleared by the
+.Ic enable
+and
+.Ic disable
+configuration commands,
+respectively.
+These are the auth, bclient, monitor, pll, pps and stats flags,
+as described below under the
+.Ic enable
+command in the
+.Sx Runtime Configuration Requests
+section.
+There are two additional flags which are read only,
+the kernel_pll and kernel_pps.
+These flags indicate the synchronization status
+when the precision time kernel modifications are in use.
+The kernel_pll indicates
+that the local clock is being disciplined by the kernel,
+while the kernel_pps indicates
+the kernel discipline is provided by the PPS signal.
+.Pp
+The
+.Qq stability
+is the residual frequency error
+remaining after the system frequency correction is applied and is
+intended for maintenance and debugging.
+In most architectures, this
+value will initially decrease from as high as 500 ppm to a nominal value
+in the range .01 to 0.1 ppm.
+If it remains high for some time after
+starting the daemon, something may be wrong with the local clock, or the
+value of the kernel variable
+.Qq tick
+may be incorrect.
+.Pp
+The
+.Qq broadcastdelay
+shows the default broadcast delay, as set by
+the
+.Qq broadcastdelay
+configuration option, while the
+.Qq authdelay
+shows the default authentication delay, as set by
+the
+.Qq authdelay
+configuration option.
+.It Ic sysstats
+Print statistics counters maintained in the protocol module.
+.It Ic memstats
+Print statistics counters related to memory allocation
+code.
+.It Ic iostats
+Print statistics counters maintained in the input-output module.
+.It Ic timerstats
+Print statistics counters maintained in the timer/event queue support
+code.
+.It Ic reslist
+Obtain and print the server's restriction list.
+This list is (usually)
+printed in sorted order and may help to understand how the restrictions
+are applied.
+.It Ic monlist Op Ar version
+Obtain and print traffic counts collected and maintained by the monitor
+facility.
+The version number should not normally need to be specified.
+.It Xo Ic clkbug
+.Ar clock_peer_address
+.Op Ar ...
+.Xc
+Obtain debugging information for a reference clock driver.
+This information is provided only by some clock drivers and is mostly
+undecodable without a copy of the driver source in hand.
+.El
+.Ss Runtime Configuration Requests
+All requests which cause state changes in the server are authenticated
+by the server using a configured
+NTP key (the facility can also be
+disabled by the server by not configuring a key).
+The key number and the
+corresponding key must also be made known to
+.Nm Ns .
+This can be done using the
+.Ic keyid
+and
+.Ic passwd
+commands, the latter of which will prompt at the terminal for a password
+to use as the encryption key.
+You will also be prompted automatically
+for both the key number and password the first time a command which
+would result in an authenticated request to the server is given.
+Authentication not only provides verification that the requester has
+permission to make such changes, but also gives an extra degree of
+protection again transmission errors.
+.Pp
+Authenticated requests always include a timestamp in the packet data,
+which is included in the computation of the authentication code.
+This timestamp is compared by the server to its receive time stamp.
+If they differ by more than a small amount the request is rejected.
+This is done for two reasons.
+First, it makes simple replay attacks on the server, by
+someone who might be able to overhear traffic on your LAN, much more
+difficult.
+Second, it makes it more difficult to request configuration
+changes to your server from topologically remote hosts.
+While the
+reconfiguration facility will work well with a server on the local host,
+and may work adequately between time-synchronized hosts on the same
+LAN, it will work very poorly for more distant hosts.
+As such, if
+reasonable passwords are chosen, care is taken in the distribution and
+protection of keys and appropriate source address restrictions are
+applied, the run time reconfiguration facility should provide an
+adequate level of security.
+.Pp
+The following commands all make authenticated requests.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Xo Ic addpeer
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar keyid
+.Op Ar version
+.Op Ar prefer
+.Xc
+Add a configured peer association at the given address and operating in
+symmetric active mode.
+Note that an existing association with the same
+peer may be deleted when this command is executed, or may simply be
+converted to conform to the new configuration, as appropriate.
+If the
+optional
+.Ar keyid
+is a nonzero integer, all outgoing packets to
+the remote server will have an authentication field attached encrypted
+with this key.
+If the value is 0 (or not given) no authentication will
+be done.
+The
+.Ar version
+can be 1, 2 or 3 and defaults to 3.
+The
+.Ar prefer
+keyword indicates a preferred peer (and thus will be
+used primarily for clock synchronisation if possible).
+The preferred
+peer also determines the validity of the PPS signal - if the preferred
+peer is suitable for synchronisation so is the PPS signal.
+.It Xo Ic addserver
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar keyid
+.Op Ar version

+.It Xo Ic broadcast
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar keyid
+.Op Ar version
+.Xc
+Identical to the
+.Ic addpeer
+command, except that the operating mode is broadcast.
+In this case a valid key identifier and key are required.
+The
+.Ar peer_address
+parameter can be the broadcast address of the local network or a
+multicast group address assigned to
+NTP.
+If a multicast address, a
+multicast-capable kernel is required.
+.It Xo Ic unconfig
+.Ar peer_address
+.Op Ar ...
+.Xc
+This command causes the configured bit to be removed from the specified
+peer(s).
+In many cases this will cause the peer association to be deleted.
+When appropriate, however, the association may persist in an
+unconfigured mode if the remote peer is willing to continue on in this
+fashion.
+.It Xo Ic fudge

+Following is a description of the flags.
+Note that only the auth, bclient, monitor, pll, pps and stats flags
+can be set by
+.Nm Ns ;
+the pll_kernel and pps_kernel flags are read-only.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It auth
+Enables the server to synchronize

+.Nd standard NTP query program
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl inp
+.Op Fl c Ar command
+.Op Ar host ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is used to query NTP servers which implement the recommended NTP mode 6
+control message format about current state and to request changes in
+that state.
+The program may be run either in interactive mode or
+controlled using command line arguments.
+Requests to read and write
+arbitrary variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed
+output options being available.
+.Nm
+can also obtain and print a list of peers in a common format by sending
+multiple queries to the server.
+.Pp
+If one or more request options is included on the command line when
+.Nm
+is executed, each of the requests will be sent to the NTP servers
+running on each of the hosts given as command line arguments, or on
+.Dq localhost
+by default.
+If no request options are given,
+.Nm
+will attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these
+on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line,
+again
+defaulting to
+.Dq localhost
+when no other host is specified.
+.Nm
+will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the NTP server, and hence
+can be used to query any compatible server on the network which permits
+it.
+Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol this communication will be
+somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms of network
+topology.
+.Nm
+makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if
+the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time.
+.Pp
+Command line options are described following. Specifying a command line
+option other than
+.Fl i
+or
+.Fl n
+will cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated
+host(s) immediately.
+Otherwise,
+.Nm
+will attempt to read interactive format commands from the standard
+input.
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl c Ar command
+The following argument is interpreted
+as an interactive format command
+and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the specified
+host(s).
+Multiple
+.Fl c
+options may be given.
+.It Fl i
+Force
+.Nm
+to operate in interactive mode.
+Prompts will be written to the standard
+output and commands read from the standard input.
+.It Fl n
+Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than
+converting to the canonical host names.
+.It Fl p
+Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of
+their state.
+This is equivalent to the
+.Ic peers
+interactive command.
+.El
+.Ss Internal Commands
+Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero to
+four arguments.
+Only enough characters of the full keyword to uniquely
+identify the command need be typed.
+The output of a command is normally
+sent to the standard output, but optionally the output of individual
+commands may be sent to a file by appending a
+.Qq > ,
+followed by a file name, to the command line.
+A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the

+where the
+.Qq = Ns Aq value
+is ignored, and can be omitted, in requests

+.Nm
+maintains an internal list in which data to be included in control
+messages can be assembled, and sent using the
+.Ic readlist
+and
+.Ic writelist
+commands described below. The
+.Ic addvars
+command allows variables and their optional values to be added to the
+list.
+If more than one variable is to be added, the list should be
+comma-separated and not contain white space.
+The
+.Ic rmvars
+command can be used to remove individual variables from the list, while
+the
+.Ic clearvars
+command removes all variables from the list.
+.It Ic authenticate Ar yes | Ar no
+Normally
+.Nm
+does not authenticate requests unless they are write requests.
+The command
+.Dq Li authenticate yes
+causes
+.Nm
+to send authentication with all requests it makes.
+Authenticated requests cause some servers
+to handle requests slightly differently,
+and can occasionally melt the CPU in fuzzballs if you turn
+authentication on before doing a peer display.
+.It Ic cooked

+.Qq ? Ns .
+.It Ic debug Ar more | Ar less | Ar off
+Turn internal query program debugging on and off.
+.It Ic delay Ar milliseconds
+Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in requests
+which require authentication.
+This is used to enable (unreliable) server
+reconfiguration over long delay network paths or between machines whose
+clocks are unsynchronized.
+Actually the server does not now require
+timestamps in authenticated requests,
+so this command may be obsolete.
+.It Ic host Ar hostname
+Set the host to which future queries will be sent.
+The
+.Ar hostname
+supplied
+may be either a host name or a numeric
+address.
+.It Ic hostnames Ar yes | Ar no
+If
+.Ar yes
+is specified, host names are printed in information

+If
+.Ar no
+is given, numeric addresses are printed
+instead.
+The default is
+.Ar yes
+unless modified using the command line
+.Fl n
+switch.
+.It Ic keyid Ar keyid
+This command allows the specification of a key number to be used to
+authenticate configuration requests.
+This must correspond to a key
+number the server has been configured to use for this purpose.
+.It Ic ntpversion Ar 1 | Ar 2 | Ar 3 | Ar 4
+Set the NTP version number which
+.Nm
+claims in packets.
+Defaults to 3.
+Note that mode 6 control messages
+(and modes, for that matter)
+didn't exist in NTP version 1.
+There appear to be no servers left which demand version 1.
+.It Ic quit
+Exit
+.Nm Ns .
+.It Ic passwd
+This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not be
+echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration requests.
+The
+password must correspond to the key configured for use by the NTP server
+for this purpose if such requests are to be successful.
+.It Ic raw
+Cause all output from query commands
+to be printed as received from the remote server.
+The only formatting and intepretation done on the data is to
+transform non-ASCII data into a printable (but barely understandable)
+form.
+.It Ic timeout Ar milliseconds
+Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries. The default

+Each peer known to an NTP server has a 16 bit integer
+association identifier
+assigned to it.
+NTP control messages which carry peer variables must
+identify the peer the values correspond to by including its association
+ID.
+An association ID of 0 is special, and indicates the variables are
+system variables, whose names are drawn from a separate name space.
+.Pp
+Control message commands result in one or more NTP mode 6 messages being
+sent to the server, and cause the data returned to be printed in some
+format.
+Most commands currently implemented send a single message and
+expect a single response.
+The current exceptions are the
+.Ic peers
+command,
+which will send a preprogrammed series of messages to obtain
+the data it needs, and the
+.Ic mreadlist
+and
+.Ic mreadvar
+commands, which will iterate over a range of associations.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic associations
+Obtains and prints a list of association identifiers and peer statuses
+for in-spec peers of the server being queried.
+The list is printed in columns.
+The first of these is an index numbering the associations from
+1 for internal use, the second the actual association identifier
+returned by the server and the third the status word for the peer.
+This is followed by a number of columns
+containing data decoded from the status word.
+Note that the data returned by the
+.Ic associations
+command is cached internally in
+.Nm Ns .
+The index is then of use when dealing with stupid servers which use
+association identifiers which are hard for humans to type, in that for
+any subsequent commands which require an association identifier as an
+argument, the form
+.Dq Li &index
+may be used as an alternative.

+Requests that a list of the server's clock variables be sent.
+Servers which have a radio clock
+or other external synchronization will respond positively to this.
+If the association identifier is omitted or zero the
+request is for the variables of the
+.Qq system clock
+and will
+generally get a positive response from all servers with a clock.
+If the server treats clocks as pseudo-peers,
+and hence can possibly have more than one clock connected at once,
+referencing the appropriate peer association ID
+will show the variables of a particular clock.
+Omitting the variable list
+will cause the server to return a default variable display.
+.It Ic lassocations
+Obtains and prints a list of association identifiers and peer statuses
+for all associations for which the server is maintaining state.
+This command differs from the
+.Ic associations
+command only for servers
+which retain state for out-of-spec client associations
+(i.e. fuzzballs).
+Such associations are normally omitted from the display when
+the
+.Ic associations
+command is used, but are included in the
+output of
+.Ic lassociations Ns .

+.It Ic peers
+Obtains a list of in-spec peers of the server, along with a summary of

+Summary information includes the address of the

+stratum of the remote peer, the type of the peer (local, unicast,

+The
+.Ic peers
+command is non-atomic and may occasionally result in spurious error
+messages about invalid associations occurring and terminating the
+command.
+The timeout time is a fixed constant, which means you wait a long time
+for timeouts since it assumes sort of a worst case.
+The program should
+improve the timeout estimate as it sends queries to a particular host,
+but doesn't.

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+determines where a given Network Time Protocol (NTP) server gets
+its time from, and follows the chain of NTP servers back to their
+master time source.
+If given no arguments, it starts with
+.Dq localhost .
+.Pp
+Here is an example of the output from
+.Nm Ns :
+.Bd -literal
+% ntptrace
+localhost: stratum 4, offset 0.0019529, synch distance 0.144135
+server2ozo.com: stratum 2, offset 0.0124263, synch distance 0.115784
+usndh.edu: stratum 1, offset 0.0019298, synch distance 0.011993, refid 'WWVB'
+.Ed
+.Pp
+On each line, the fields are (left to right): the host name, the
+host stratum,
+the time offset between that host and the local host
+(as measured by
+.Nm Ns ;
+this is why it is not always zero for
+.Dq localhost ) ,
+the host
+synchronization distance ,
+and (only for stratum-1 servers) the reference clock ID. All times
+are given in seconds.
+Note that the stratum is the server hop count to the primary source,
+while the synchronization distance is the estimated error
+relative to the primary source.
+These terms are precisely defined in RFC 1305.
