[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#468348: manpage ntpd(8) advertises -m for multicast

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz

Hello,

ntpd(8) has in the OPTIONS section:

	-m     	Synchronize using NTP multicast messages on the IP
		multicast group address 224.0.1.1 (requires multicast
		kernel).

But ntpd --help doesn't know about -m.  (And using -m doesn't work
either, so probably the man page is wrong.)

Best regards
Uwe
