That's not broken, it's a "feature" of the newer ntpd.  The ntpd folks
decided to stop supporting the old mode-7 control packets because they
say the mode-6 packets used by ntpq can do everything necessary.  That
means we all have to learn some new commands within ntpq to get the
info and controls we're used to with ntpdc.  There are things I'm used
to doing with ntpdc that I haven't figured out how to do with ntpq yet,
foremost being 'addserver'.
