--- Comment #3 from Ian Lepore <ian at FreeBSD.org> ---
The ntpdc tool communicated with ntpd using "mode 7 private control packets", a
feature which is no longer supported by ntpd because of sercurity concerns
(this comes from the upstream ntp project, who documented ntpdc and mode 7
packets as depracted some time ago).

Everything that used to require ntpdc can now be done using ntpq, which uses
supported mode 6 packets.

You might reasonably ask why ntpdc is still distributed as part of ntp (I sure
wonder why), but I suspect only the ntp project folks could answer that.
