There is an error in the NTPD manpage.

The option -L means "do NOT listen to Virtual IPs" the present manpage (FreeBSD-6.1-STABLE) says:

   -L      Listen to virtual IPs.


looking at the code in /usr/src/contrib/ntpd/cmd_args.c shows this:

   /*
    * Definitions of things either imported from or exported to outside
    */
   extern char const *progname;
   int     listen_to_virtual_ips = 1;

and further down:

   case 'L':
                       listen_to_virtual_ips = 0;
                       break;

I found this bug while reading external documentation about setting up NTPD.... I'm glad I read this ;-)
