Harlan,
It is very clear in the documentation and protocol specification that
NTP mode 6 is the standard protocoland NTP mode 7 is a proprietaty
protocol. The ntpq program supports mode 6; the evil old ntpdc program
supports mode 7. Both programs were implemented by Dennis Fergusson in
1988. The rimary purpose of ntpdc was and is for debugging. The ntpq
program was and is intended for monitoring and, with the latest
configuration rewrite, for control as well.
