ntpd on FreeBSD-11 source:

[James B. Byrne]

On FreeBSD-11.0 when I see this:

# ntpd -V
/usr/sbin/ntpd: illegal option -- V
ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p9

# which ntpd
/usr/sbin/ntpd

But I also see this on the same system:

pkg which $(which ntpd)
/usr/sbin/ntpd was not found in the database

# pkg info ntp
pkg: No package(s) matching ntp

and yet:

# pkg search ntp
. . .
ntp-4.2.8p9                    The Network Time Protocol Distribution
. . .

So, where does the ntpd I am running come from if not from a package
or port?  AND if it does, as I believe it must, come from the port
packages then why is it not reported by 'pkg info' and its program
file not listed in the port database?
