From: Roland Rosenfeld <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 09:31:58 +0100 Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1057044 Forwarded: https://lists.xymon.com/pipermail/xymon/2024-February/048295.html Subject: Use "ntpdig -t 1" as a ntpdate replacement ntpdate (from package ntpsec-ntpdate) is only a shell wrapper around ntpdig, which maps "ntpdate -u -q -p 1" to "ntpdig -t 1" and warns about obsolte option "-p".
