The following reply was made to PR bin/32129; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Garrett Wollman <wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu> To: Ceri <setantae@submonkey.net> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: bin/32129: ntpdc -c does not work as advertised Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 18:51:15 -0500 (EST) <<On Tue, 20 Nov 2001 11:28:36 +0000, Ceri <setantae@submonkey.net> said: > -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).

Yes, but that doesn't mean what you think it means. > root@rhadamanth setantae# ntpdc -c "showpeer ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk" > remote 130.88.200.98, local 62.254.251.122 This is a query for information *about* ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk from your machine, pc3-card3-0-cust122.cdf.cable.ntl.com. The host on the command line is the host to query. Compare the output of: ntpdc -c peers ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk and: ntpdc -c "peers ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk" When you said: > root@rhadamanth setantae# ntpdc -c showpeer ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk ntpdc correctly interepreted that as a request to query ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk for some information, but then determined that the command you gave it (`showpeer') was not properly formed. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
