ntpdc

Hi,
In the lesson "Configuring the ntp Client" (https://trainingportal.linuxfoundation.org/learn/course/linux-system-administration-essentials-lfs207/network-addresses/network-addresses?page=10) the command ntpdc -c peers
is suggested to show the time differential between the local system and configured time servers. However, I cannot find the package on Debian. But an apt search and apt info reveals the ntpstat
command instead which mentions the ntpdc on the info page:
- ┌──(alu@nb)-[~]
- └─$ apt search ntpdc
- Sorting... Done
- Full Text Search... Done
- ntpstat/stable 0.0.0.1-2+b1 amd64
- show network time protocol (ntp) status
- ┌──(alu@nb)-[~]
- └─$ apt info ntpstat
- Package: ntpstat
- Version: 0.0.0.1-2+b1
- Priority: optional
- Section: web
- Source: ntpstat (0.0.0.1-2)
- Maintainer: Debian OpenStack <team+openstack@tracker.debian.org>
- Installed-Size: 29.7 kB
- Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15)
- Homepage: https://github.com/darkhelmet/ntpstat
- Download-Size: 6,436 B
- APT-Sources: http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
- Description: show network time protocol (ntp) status
- This program uses an NTP mode 6 control message, which is the same as that
- used by the ntpq command. The ntpdc command uses NTP mode 7, details of
- which are elusive. For details on the format of NTP control message, see
- http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/rfc/rfc1305/rfc1305b.ps.
But even after installing ntpstat, the ntpdc command is not available.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Urs

Hi Urs,
Please use 'ntpq' instead of ntpdc:
ntpq -c peers

Hi Luis,
Ok thanks. I already played around with ntpq. So can ntpdc be considered as a depricated tool then?

Hi Urs, it's a pleasure
So can ntpdc be considered as a depricated tool then?
Yes, that's right. We'll reflect that in the course.
