[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#737155: ntp: ntpq: peers command truncates hosts to 15 characters

[Tim Bagot]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When printing names/addresses of remote hosts, ntpq peers truncates them
to 15 characters. This is enough for any IPv4 address, but is often not
enough for a DNS name or an IPv6 address. It would be useful to have an
option for wider output, allowing all (or at least more) of the string
to be seen. Or maybe the command could even automatically adjust its
output to the terminal's width.
