>Description:
Not sure if this is a documentation bug or a software bug.
The manpage for ntpdc states :
SYNOPSIS
ntpdc [-ilnps] [-c command] [host ...]
-c command
The command argument is interpreted as an interactive format com-
mand and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the
specified host(s). Multiple -c options may be given.
which indicates that all commands specified should default to the host
given on the command line.
This does not happen, since the host is not passed to the command to
be executed unless quotes are used.

>Fix:
The above _is_ a workaround.
However, the documentation suggests that the first method attempted should
work.
