OK. Am I in a alternate universe? I have run ntpdate for years on a
variety of systems, almost all of the BSD family. (I count the VMS
implementation in TGV software as BSD.) I have never seen '-g' and have
always had '-b' as the boot option. I have confirmed the '-b' with the
official sources at Deleware.
