Author: 0mp (ports committer) Date: Wed Aug 22 13:30:48 2018 New Revision: 338195 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/338195
Log: Note that ntpd_sync_on_start is a preferred alternative to ntpdate_enable. A similar note is already present in the description of the ntpd_sync_on_start variable. This patch adds a note to the description of the ntpdate_enable variable. This way it would be easier to spot. Otherwise a user might skip the part of the manual describing ntpd_sync_on_start if they stop reading after learning about ntpdate_enable.
